Watching The Birds

We sit on the porch until the weather gets so bad that we can't.  Pop surprised me the other day by putting up a bird feeder in the back yard.  There is a window just as you start up the stairs to the loft, and I like to sit there and watch the critters.  Now I can watch the birds at the feeder as well. The way it hangs it's just far enough away from the tree that a smart little squirrel can stretch out from the tree and get a sunflower seed from the tray.  He is so cute when he does that!  I would love to get a picture of him but he runs every time I get around the corner with the camera.  I did some trial and error shots through the window and I think it will probably work. Our wren is still here and after reading in a book about what they like to eat maybe I can give it some good things to carry it through the winter.  There were so many goldfinches looking through the leaves for sunflower seeds that the leaves looked alive.
