After planning to all winter, we finally got our bird feeder up last week. The first place we put it was too close to the door, and we didn't get any visitors there. The day after moving it to a more private location, we had birds! Only one variety so far:

the Black -capped chickadee. I have always loved these little birds, they are so cheerful and enduring, staying around all winter. The kids were thrilled, and run to the window frequently during the day to see if any birds are feeding.
