The good news is that word has spread among the local songbirds about the seed feeder that I hung last weekend.
The hummingbirds found those feeders almost immediately, and we now routinely see three or four or seven at a time. They’re amazing.
It took a little bit longer for the seed feeder to get discovered. And then, it was just one bird for several days. Then two, but that was it.
This morning when I got up, there were two dozen or more sparrows and finches out there, three or four at a time at the feeder, the rest either perched on the pergola above while they waited their turn or on the astroturf down below picking at the droppings. I’ll probably have to expedite putting up a second or third seed feeder.
I also saw a large scrub jay up on top of the pergola, surveying the whole scene. It’s probably not going to fit at the feeder, and I don’t think they’re feeding on smaller birds, so it might just be curiosity.
Who knew that one of my goals in life was to have the local scrub jay population watching me and wondering what the hell I’m up to next?

In addition to the couple of scrub jays, we have many crows in the area. Time to start “accidentally” “dropping” grapes to start rebuilding my personal army!
