Where are you?  I’ve gone through at least 6 40 lb bags of seed already, filling 14 feeders each day! Lots of chickadees, goldfinches, some juncos, some redpolls, hairies, downies, both nuthatches, blue jays, mourning doves, a cardinal pair, a titmouse or two.

Hardly any finches on black oil or thistle. This time of year I can (usually) barely keep up with the feeders. This year, I have not had to replace a 40# bad of black oil since November! Very strange. Perhaps they’ve all gone to South Hero! :-)
