We get the most birds in the early Autumn when Hummingbirds that have been farther north stop by on their way south while our summer birds are still with us. We love them!<br />A friend of mine travels a lot, and she gets her sister-in-law to come re-fill the feeders while she is gone.Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201714466868118083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-62208321215762147492016-05-23T17:45:25.115-07:002016-05-23T17:45:25.115-07:00We have the same concerns about feeding birds.

I seem to attract the gold finches as buy feed especially for them - pretty sure the same little family brings their kids back year after year. They arrived a few weeks ago but they migrate in the winter so I only put my feeder out after we got home from Spain. They all come together, 4 or 5 at the feeder at the same time, always with one sitting on top as the lookout. I haven't gotten any good pictures this year but will keep trying.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-65815723914840118522016-05-21T22:36:20.475-07:002016-05-21T22:36:20.475-07:00Wow - amazing.
