Small miracle

I ran out of bird seed this morning.  Only a bit of seed for one feeder.
The miracle?  The birds didn't pull a Hitchcock on me.
I debated wearing a helmet to run to the car.
Mentally preparing the screenplay for 'The Birds, 2011'.


It's Michael's weekend off (YAY!), so we ran errands.  First stop, Tractor Supply for bird food (and garden stuff).  Now there's no reason to leave the property until Monday morning.  :)
Michael wanted a thistle feeder for the Goldfinches.  I have never had luck with any thistle feeders. They went ignored.

So of course, the moment he hangs his hideous "sock feeder":



@#$% birds.

  1. Hee, hee! That's the way it always goes. You're going to have to get a better thistle feeder than that, now, because those goldfinches will have that sock empty in nothing flat.

  4. Our Goldfinches totally ignore thistle/niger and head straight for the black oil. It's is so dang windy here this morning the birds have some kind of crazy flight pattern going on just to get to the feeders!
