Fall Visitors

Bonnie, my house is actually a "see-through" ... I can see the
deck from the living room.... lol
I tore down walls a couple of years ago.
Your trickle tower set-up sounds enchanting.

I got all the birds away from the ponds this fall - moved the feeders,
bird baths, and arbor to the front of the house. There are scads
of birds feeding and I don't have to worry about them fouling the
ponds.

An added bonus - -
the indoor kitty tree is right up against the living room window.
The boys (cats ) sit all day long watching
their feathered friends fluttering, eating, and chattering.

No treadmill any where in sight!! lol

I thought about moving the feeders, but I'm seldom in the
front of the house and I'd never get to see the birds. The
trickle tower is located in the small veggie filter and the
waterfall is not working, so any nasties will stay there.

The larger birds that visit are cardinals, blue jays, mockingbirds,
and the mourning doves. You are right John. They are ground feeders.

Not to mention feeding area, one can spread the seed over a wide area,
ad a flock of a couple of dozen birds can come in at once and feed.

It is amazing to watch a whole flock come in, and end up all 6 inches
apart on the ground, feeding, mostly in peace, then to all take off in
one fell swoop when they get spooked.

And then they start returning, a couple at a time.

With open water year round, and food, I have lots of wild life visitors.

Oh Yes!! The pond area is such a bonanza to not only the wildlife
but to moi. I enjoy watching the birds and their buds so much.

Side note: the house work has certainly suffered these last
several weeks. Oh Well ;-)
