Bill's post on winter when it snows prompted me to upload this taken

Home made bird feeder temporarily rests on deck rails as I take it down
in the spring when I start container gardening. Had to rebuild and
secure with a bungee cord as raccoons have knocked it down.

I no longer feed the birds. It draws too many undesirable varmits
onto my deck and makes a seed/poop mess. I still get lots of birds
because of the large trees, berry bushes, pond, etc.

I feed the birds etc out by the compost pile. Everything is welcome,
including the poop.
