I forgot I'd told you about Finches'...PS... I forgot I'd told you about Finches' Feast. For those who don't know, Purina sells lots of good (and some not so good) bird seed. I buy Black-oil Sunflower seeds in 50# bags ($19) and 20# bags of Finches' Feast ($22). <br /><br />Finches' Feast is a mix of the black thistle (Nyjer) and canary seed with some sunflower-heart bits in there too. All the seed is small enough for any finch feeder...but it is half the price of pure Nyjer seed. AND the birds love it.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334121900896195207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598189770868382234.post-55919648596656984642010-02-07T18:42:05.426-07:002010-02-07T18:42:05.426-07:00Heyyyy!

I swear, I'm going to get at least one FEMALE juniper this spring! [sigh] Oh darn, a big tree can't be cheap...I'm never gonna get that pond! LOL<br /><br />Thanks for visiting...you DID see today's post, right? Your note is attached to a post from weeks ago! Sorry you missed the Grosbeaks... We had quite a drama, too. I hope he makes it!Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334121900896195207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598189770868382234.post-12535652217287000232010-02-07T17:47:15.355-07:002010-02-07T17:47:15.355-07:00Hi,
From Huajatolla Valley, Superbowl Sunday Feb ...Hi,<br /><br />From Huajatolla Valley, Superbowl Sunday Feb 7, 2010: snow 5 inches so far, more to come. 24 deg. several chickadees (mtn and black-capped), 4 A. goldfinches, sev. juncos, few stellers and scrub jays, 3 black-billed magpies, and 1white-breasted nuthatch at feeders. Thanks for the tip on 'Finches Feast'. They DO love it! The poor robins! Eating nothing but juniper berries all day for weeks (if not months) on end. At least 100 (probably more) in the juniper trees behind the house (elev. 7500 ft asl). When not eating, they're fluffed up on a limb looking forlorn and bored. Makes me wish a had a bushel of juicy earthworms for them. 'course the worms would quickly be 'wormcicles' and unappetisizing Robin food(doesn't sound appetisizing to me either).<br />I really enjoyed the bird-watching today!Great to see good ole Lewis's again. -D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
