Winged Visitors

Last week we went to Lowes with the express purpose of figuring out a way to hang a bird feeder above the deck.  Much to my delight they had a pole designed specifically to attach to a deck.  We bought the pole and a bird feeder and came home to set it up right away.

And then we watched.  And waited.

I finally started worrying that the feeders were too low and too close to the benches that Tiger (our cat) loves to hang out on. 

And then, yesterday, we had finally had visitors.
