Birds are Back!

Bird migration season has begun. Jimmy has seen the robins in full swing and we expect to start seeing blue jays, cardinals and all the other birds we get this time of year.

The cats couldn't be happier! The bowl is typically at the edge of my desk, looking out of the large office window to the tree, fence and bird feeder we have outside. It begins teeming with birds who hang out in the feeder, if they can, and, if not, on the fence and roof of our neighbors house. The bird feeder is ceramic and in the shape of an egg with little perches in the perfect spot to sit and snack. The perches are small, intentionally, so smaller birds have an easier time feeding than larger birds. Often the larger pigeons and doves sit and wait for seed to fall on the ground so they can swoop down and steal the seed. They are not the only ones waiting, the squirrels also watch and wait.

As you can see, they watch the birds until they are yawning for sleep, tired but wanting to stay awake to watch Bird TV.

Do you remember in the DVD when we put seed on the window sill and the squirrel came right up to the window with the cats watching intently?
