My black oil sunflower seed feeder is for small birds (mostly
chickadees, chookadees?). They can be extremely fussy about what they
eat, and may toss away as many as 20 seeds before finding one that is
just right for them. Some seeds fall to the ground, and larger birds
come to take advantage of the free food. Large, and small, I then see
them scratching up the yard. Salatin mentioned in "Salad Bar Beef" that
birds will venture about 200 ft. from cover to find food.

ah, you got around to reading it. what
did you think? i preferred it much over
his more recent book. seemed more practical
and more descriptive of what he actually does
for the beef part of his operation.
