Just out side the kitchen windows are 2 bird seed feeders and 1 hummingbird feeder. I often find myself being distracted by the dozens of birds snacking the day away. Once in a while, if the feeders get low, they throw themselves at the windows in protest. At least that's the story I've come up with. We get all sorts of birds, orioles, cardinals and once in a while indigo buntings! Some times I wish I could snag a pic and send it to my Grandpa Fouch to identify what it is! Luckily, the farm owner is very familair with the different birds that frequent the feeders. His least favorite, Cowbirds. They are mean little things and only the most daring venture within BB gun range. Everyone once in a while, when I'm sitting in my condo, I will hear the 'pop' of the BB gun and know that the world must have one less cowbird to steal the nests of other birds.It is a common dinner time occurrence to whip out the bird book and flip through the pages, searching to identify an unfamiliar sighting. All the while whooping or cooing to aid the ID process. This is not one of Jack's favorite dinner past times.
Don't worry Nathan....no bird will ever take the place of my favorite puffin. ;)
