Feed the Birds

(If you build it they will come)

Jason made a bird feeder and put it up in our front yard with the help of Ty.  We stocked it with black sunflower seed and have had hundreds of birds at it everyday they stay in our aspen trees and fly down to feed.  We can look out our living room window and the boy's bedroom window and watch them.  The kids have really enjoy watching them.  There are so many birds that it is quite noisy when you go outside our front door. We have even see a few bird fights.  We have all been able to get up right next to the bird feeder and have some of the birds stay there some of us have even touched the birds. It has been a lot of fun.  

Lyndie had to help as well.  She found the gloves and hat herself and put them on. We don't believe in coats in star valley if the weather is not below zero which is why no one is wearing coats.  We did this the first week of April notice how much snow we still had.  You got to love Star Valley.

Pine Siskin

I was able to stand right next to the bird feeder and get some neat pictures.  These birds are called Pine Siskins.  We also had some Evening Grosbeaks and some Cassin's Finch which have a pretty red head.

 

It's hard to see in this picture but there are lots of these birds in our aspens.
