Birds and Wildflowers...

The rapacious birds can empty my 3 feeders in under 6 hours! This photo is taken from my deck, and the view is a fringe benefit of a home bordering the forest preserve. (Click to enlarge photo.)

Goldenrod said...: Do you also have a bird bath nearby? I don't have any bird feeders, but the birds love my bird bath! (Finally put the top back on after Ike.) Great photo!; July 25, 2009 9:16 AM
Chuck said...: No bird bath -- just the 3 feeders. But the reeds in the photo are the edge of a retention pond where they can swim and bathe to their heart's delight!; July 25, 2009 9:05 PM
