Enjoyed the pics, but what struck me most upon seeing them was that it appears you have 2 japanese cedars (??) in either corner of your garden!! We have a very large "creature", (as we call him), on the corner of our property, but have never seen another in a residential app. So cool! What are they really called?? I've meant to call the landscape arch. many times but if I'm being honest...I just keep forgetting. If you have any insight, let me know!

They stomp across our roof morning, noon and night. Well with hundreds of birds and food guess what is all over our patio, windows and pool furniture...bird poop. It is gross. Our window cleaners even told us they might charge more because of the amount on the windows.<br />I hope with just the one you don't get this problem. Maybe I should get a cat to chase them away.<br />Glad you, your husband and cat are enjoying it though.

My cat is driven crazy since we don't let him out and he sits at the window and climbs the screen when we open it.<br /><br />Bird watching can be very satisfying and amusing, especially if you start getting interesting birds.<br /><br />Another path to success - a bird bath. We have two bird paths (one is fancy, stone and the other is a plastic plant basin sitting on an iron post), and both a VERY popular. They are full of birds most of the day and we refill every couple of days when watering the plants. We also have a bird bath heater (which keeps the water just above freezing, not hot, so doesn't take much electricity) and it is very popular in winter, as there is no open water. All winter, we have birds in the bath. It is so fun to watch them do a full spa treatment. We have robins who sit in there for, like, 5 minutes splashing around.<br /><br />Another tip - we spend extra and by sunflower seeds that are already shelled for one of our feeders so we don't get a mess of shells on the deck. Not a problem if you have ground that you don't mind covered in shells, as birds and squirrels will also forage on the ground. But for a deck or nice surface, the shell-less seeds are nice. I think it is black oil sunflower seeds my husband buys.<br /><br />Have fun, nice post!<br /><br />xo TerriTerrihttp://www.windlost.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-16547049874021262762009-08-10T13:37:31.533-04:002009-08-10T13:37:31.533-04:00So cute.

We overthink seed and suet selections, we have cleaning accessories, replace the feeders when we decide the birds aren't adapting to them quickly enough...and we convinced ourselves that we got the feeders for Baxter's entertainment (he's my dog).<br /><br />Once you get songbirds in your yard, you wonder how to dealt with it being so quiet before.Jeannine | The Small and Chic Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17702901309930825003noreply@blogger.com
