Well, this is what our birdfeeder looks like after filling it to the top shortly after Christmas. As you can easily see, the birds have been eating cautiously since that time. I suppose when snow covers the ground we may see it run down a bit faster. I suppose we should be glad tha we aren't having to buy another bag of seed already. Maybe they would like it better if I had put in a tree rather than on a post out in the open, but we wanted to be able to see them more easily. Are there any bird-watchers out there who could give us a hint as to help the birds find our feeder?
