I came across a sad story while looking at bird sites. Maybe that poor little Crossbill was sick...good thing Jr. washed his hands...as I recall he said "I'm gonna go wash my hands, bird flu!" Here's the link, if you want to read it, but the main gist is, stop feeding the birds, you're killing them!
I'll stop feeding them for awhile, or take other steps to keep them healthy. Maybe J could make a nice antiseptic metal feeder... the last thing I want to do is make the birdies sick!There's always that old problem of loving something to death...time for mama to spend a little less time blogging and a lot more time cleaning. Sam, Ella, and the dustbunnies must be swept away.
On the bright side, I found a great site for bird identification in the Northwest (but it's also good for much of the west), at http://www.birdweb.org/. You can even listen to the different bird songs here.
The weather is still cool and showery, 60 degrees at 1:30 pm.

Poor birdies, I hope they don't get sick. And I hope I don't get sick from that little guy.
Oh Dear.
