Feeding Birds - An Update

Other suggestions from Martha fit in with my "anybody can do this" philosophy. Take a pinecone, put some peanut butter on it and roll it in birdseed. I think she may have "borrowed" that one from the Girl Scouts. Even easier is the sunflower seed feeder. Grow some sunflowers and wait until they start to die and the seeds start to dry up. Cut off the tops, poke a couple holes through the former stem, run some string through the holes and hang them up. Anybody can do that!

In an unrelated but exciting development, the ducks and geese have come back! Last month the ice on the river was about a foot think but that's when the windchill was -30 for a couple weeks straight. Now it's 30 above and the river is defrosting so the ducks and geese have come back. I'm hoping this means the rest of the winter will be relatively mild. As long as it's 30 above and not 30 below, I'm happy.
