Now that I'm finally settled in I got a new bird feeder. It's hanging on
a shepherd's hook near my back patio. Persia is getting the full benefit
of "cat TV". Carolina chickadees dart in and out as if this is an
international airport. Gosh they're quick! The tuftted titmice are
making themselves quite at home. I've got a pair of mated cardinals
visiting.

There's a pair of Carolina wrens nesting in the gardenia bush in Lynn's
yard so they come over to eat and often get into fights with each other.

They look like teenage girls who went a little too crazy with the white
eyeliner They're cute, cheeky and also very loud.

I get the occasional large blue jay. I hung a thistle sock because
according to all the bird charts I've read I should be able to attract
various finches, including the gorgeous American Goldfinch. I used to see
them all the time at my nyjer feeder back in TN. So far there are no
takers here.

Anyway, Persia's going nuts over seeing the birds at the feeder. She
loves it. Yes, it's Cat TV! Apparently it's my TV, too. And I didn't
even have to worry about digital

Sounds like a wonderful scene for both of you.
