It seems the neighborhood birds have had a good season, so far.

In the last couple of weeks I've seen the following fledglings in my front yard:

House Sparrow
House Finch
White Winged Dove
Blue Jay
Cardinal
Brown Thrasher
Downy Woodpecker
Robin

The birds (and squirrels) have learned the sound of the cover being removed from the metal pail where I store bird seed. They hear that and within minutes I have a yard full of birds (and squirrels).

Very cool. I would that swear my hummingbirds see me filling the feeder and then come slurp. Walleye Jun 15 #1

I'm on the second floor too, and my deck is where I hang most of the feeders some on the windowsill. they seem to thrive Walleye Jun 15 #4
