Feed The Birds

I love feeding the birds (and squirrels), especially in the winter. With a hedge which runs around the house and a huge spruce tree in the yard, we get plenty of feathered visitors.

We run the sparrows and chickadees, to Asian Collared Doves (they aren't Mourning doves), woodpecker (we have suet too), crows, seagulls, Northern Flicker and a hawk or two.

With the snow on the ground, the scene reminds me of my favorite "Mary Poppins" song, "Feed the Birds".

It's not the happiest song in the movie, but it has always been my favorite.

Now to go scatter more feed on the ground. The sparrows prefer it that way and I can feed more that way than letting them take turns at the feeder with the squirrel.
