east of the house where the feeder hangs. I have had many types of feeders, but I have settled on suet blocks.
The sunflower seeds brought vermin and that included raccoons with their little ones.. The ravens are very creative because their feet cannot hold onto the metal screen box. Mostly I have scrub jays and they are so blue.
Once in Rogers Park I saw a glorious red cardinal in a very green tree at Xmas.
I heard it first, then I looked toward the sound.
So when I sit in my chair paying bills, eating, or drinking tea I look out and watch the
birds at the feeder.
I have the Merlin app and love it, especially when I travel.
I don't always see what I hear.
