Each winter, Aunt Mel puts out a few bird feeders to help the wild birds forage. There is a feeder of fine thistle for the finches and two feeders of black oil sunflower seeds for everyone else. All sorts of birds from miles away stop by to dine. I guess word got out that the menu at Aunt Mel’s farm is top notch!

One little finch is not afraid of Aunt Mel. He will ride along on the edge of the feeder while Aunt Mel fills it with fresh seeds. These are just a few of the types birds commonly spotted at the feeders.
