Who Else Is Getting Ready for Yet Another Nor'Easter Snow Storm?

[pomtzu]

I love the Cardinals - they look so wonderful against the snow and pine trees. We normally have 20 - 30 in our yard. They are the first to arrive in the morning, and the last to leave at night.

They're my favorite, and we have a lot here too.

I'm out of bird seed, and can't get to the tree with the feeder anyway. I noticed the birds have been raiding the dry cat food on the porch that is Sherbie's. We always have a problem with the crows doing that in the Spring and early Summer, but never saw any others doing it.

I crumbled up some bread and a stale bagel, and added some rolled oats to it, and tossed some out in the snow for the poor hungry little ones. They have been eating it, so at least they are getting some food. I remember when I was a kid, my mother always took bread that was getting stale and crumbled it for the birds.

I've actually just been spreading the seed on the railing of our porch since I don't actually have a real bird feeder.

I'm glad you're doing the crumbs. I've read that once you start feeding the birds in the winter, you shouldn't stop because they have become dependent on that food. But it gets real hard sometimes.

We have one suet feeder and two hanging tubes. There are 5 - 6 places where I scatter seed on the ground for the ground feeders. When it snows, I'm out there a couple of times a day, brushing the snow from those areas so the birds can get to the seed.

I don't have any seed, but I have some stale bread that I wanted
to throw out for the birds. Trouble is, I have to wait till it stops snowing
or it will just get covered up.

A lady I used to work with sent me a little take off of the Who Dat
song. It's pretty good.


"This is what i wanted to yell at people on the way home this evening.
