For the Birds

One of Cooper's favorites activities is to stand at our living room window and stack his little people on the window sill. Since he also likes to look outside at the birds we decided it would be nice to put a bird feeder in front of the window. We went to Lowe's Saturday night and picked up a bird feeder, bird seed, and a hook and now the birds are coming. It took about a day for the "word" to get out but they are coming in full swing. I got home this morning from Jazzercise and the remaining bird seed was all gone. I think they took advantage of no one looking out the windows and decided it was time to finish eating. Some of the birds that try to eat are too heavy for the feeder, it was only about $2, so we may need to get something to weight it down or buy a heaver one. It makes me want to get some bird books and figure out what is visiting our backyard.
