Dining With My Feathered Friends

My family and friends aren't the only ones I like to keep well fed in the winter. I keep two bird feeders full for my feathered friends all year long.

They brighten my day like flowers in the summer.

Sometimes, Mr. Cardinal even shares the feeder with the smaller birds. I like it when they are polite to each other :)
