chicadees at our feeder
Toronto, 2011.04.05
At last, our bird feeder saw some use today. Two chicadees came to feed repeatedly while we were there.The Boy spotted them first, which was a neat trick because they were actually behind him. We also saw a robin lurking about, but it didn't approach while we were there.It's been about two weeks without a single bird until today. I had been entertaining the idea of simply shelving the thing, maybe depositing the seeds on a fence-top or fence-post rather than hold out any hope of birds coming.
