They all show up about the same time each day and from different directions. I find it fascinating how they change what tree they are going to feed from each day and they all seem to get the memo. I can see 30-40 trees from the house and they will ALL be eating off the same tree each day. I have nothing clever to put here.

I have a spot I can go to any day in the fall spring on a high bald hill and they are there. Not sure what it is but they will be there dancing signing and just hanging out. I have aways fund them very interesting bird. Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

I fed them on my driveway, because I kept it clear and that was where the went. They have not been at the house much this year. I do have some coming in over by the chicken coop. We always throw some feed out for them when feeding the chickens. "Not Really, Not Really" Mark J Monti "MJM you're a jerk."
