They must have been waiting for me this morning. [View all]

I was a little later than usual putting "breakfast" out this morning. Within 2 minutes I had a pair of Cardinals, Blue Jays, Red Bellied Woodpecker, numerous sparrows, finches and juncos along with a single Starling.

Breakfast consists of a mixture of seeds, shelled corn and peanuts that I make up and keep in a little bucket. A little something for everybody. I put it in a tray feeder and scatter on the sidewalk. I'll go out and fill all the feeders when it warms up a little bit.

I use a similar mix for a base and then jazz it up a bit to attract a bigger variety. Arkansas Granny Dec 2020 #3

I don't have any crows in the neighborhood. I've only seen them in rural locations. Arkansas Granny Dec 2020 #4
