Karl finally fixed the birdfeeder for me, got the tray back on with some sort of caulk stuff. I put it back out today.
BIRDS! I have birds again. Finches. House finches and red-headed finches. On the birdfeeder. And on the windowsill where I put seed, driving Karina nuts again. I have missed my birds....
It's like suddenly having another half-dozen pets.
And, as Karl points out, getting more entertainment from the existing ones. Well, at least one of them. See, the western windows have that special dark screening to keep out heat, so the birds can't see Karina in the window, but she can sure see them. This is why in addition to filling the feeder, I put a layer of seed on the brick windowsill.
I've seen a couple of doves in the yard off and on, the last few days, which was part of my reminder to get the feeder back out. I hope they start coming back, too. I used to practically have my own flock. I love the sound they make.
