Solly Mack, I wish you could see our birds today.

It's snowing, and my husband put out new cracked sunflower seeds in the two feeders. We have literally hundreds of redpolls out there now, in the trees, falling all over themselves in the feeders and on the ground where the seeds are getting kicked out. They're even on our front porch where Jim filled the feeders and let a few seeds drop. It's like Alfred Hitchcock Out there. About every 10 minutes or so, one flies into the window, but it doesn't seem to be bothering them much.

You would love to see this.

I enjoy watching them interact and squabble. It can get a bit creepy though.

Thanks, Blue!
