Wish I could quit work and guard them all day.:)<br />@Floweringmama, Super!!!<br />@Polly, I did a post about that feeder so others could built one for themselves.Type-in Mason Jar Feeder in the Search this blog box and you should find it. A mason jar is what we call a jar used for canning foods. Maybe it is the same as Kilner. Cowbirds are considered a common bird. They lay their eggs in other bird's nest and leave. I don't like them for that reason and wouldn't miss them.<br />@Pat, I do agreed!<br />@Judy, My birds have gotten use to me being around. Birding is a Blast! Get a feeder and a bird house and bring the birds closer so you can see them.:)jeanlivingsimplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820800238853344959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653157038282170244.post-65452802138318407952011-04-28T13:34:20.040-04:002011-04-28T13:34:20.040-04:00Jean - not just great with the camera but obviousl...Jean - not just great with the camera but obviously you have something special that the birds trust you so much!

Sorry to be a pest but I have tried to work out how it works.)<br />Are the cowbirds very common? I must admit I used to get quite cross with sparrows which used to be very common but now are in very small numbers along with many other smaller birds so now I do not mind any bird that eats in the garden even members of the crow family because if they were no longer there I know for better or worse, I would miss them!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12232800801644644689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653157038282170244.post-12224861711854804642011-04-27T21:32:54.566-04:002011-04-27T21:32:54.566-04:00How exciting!
