2. Watching birds is good for my blood pressure!

So it is not time wasted.

Today the birds are bringing buddies - seed in the feeders is visibly dropping! The birds are literally shoving each other off the perches. The Chipping sparrows love to hunker down in the tray of the biggest tube feeder and defy the efforts of the chickadees to shove them off.

Same birds so far today, with a male cardinal added and no white breasted nuthatch so far, though I could have missed him.

I think I'm going to have to punch some larger hole in the mesh of the thistle feeder - the goldfinch hang on but don't seem to be getting much seed out of it. If I use a small screwdriver and punch some spots to be slightly large holes, I think it will work better.
