Birds at the feeders

Today we've seen a chipping sparrow, white breasted nuthatch, downy woodpecker, chickadees, goldfinches, junko,.

I bought a bag of safflower seeds and no one seems interested. So Dan dumped them out of the big feeder and filled it with sunflower seeds instead.

We have kept the bird bath full and thawed about half of the time this winter. The heater quits working when it gets really cold.
