Jane, if you only have one feeder out, you might try a good mixture with black oil sunflower seeds stirred into it. Don't get the cheapie kind with those little reddish-brown "BB's" in it. I have never seen ANYTHING actually eat those. I get mine at PetSmart, and I really love the Stokes mixture that has no hulls in it. I feed it, black oiler sunflowers and safflower seed. Safflower seed goes into a feeder that doesn't have squirrel protection, because they don't really like it, but cardinals and titmice do. HOWEVER, no matter what you are feeding, there will be times when birds are not around for various reasons. I have hardly any right now, mostly due to a pair of hawks hanging about our neighborhood. And even without the hawks, birds often disappear for a few weeks now and then. One more thing...don't forget that WATER is probably even more important than seed in luring birds to your yard. You'll notice that most of Maureen's pictures feature her great birdbath. Be sure to provide several "baths" around the yard. They can be anything from decorative features to trashcan lids on the ground with 2" of water in them. I often turn clay pots upside down and put a clay saucer on top for water. Keep the water CLEAN and shallow, maybe even adding a rock in the center for birds to stand on. Good luck! Marcia

Good reminder! I'm keeping my bird baths full along with various bowls around the garden that my box turtles like to soak in on a hot day. They are emptied before refilling every day so they don't breed mosquitos. Also a large plant saucer of mud damp is kept for the mud daubers to use. Their comings and goings remind me of a busy airport. My friend Linda M. uses the lid of a toilet tank for a bird bath. She says it's just the right depth and the birds love it.

It's lovely. But if you can't, it doesn't matter. ''So anything to do with lifestyle -- clothes, food, louboutin shoes , hats, bags or pens. Things that make you feel good. Everything to do with your vision of what a 'lifestyle' should be. I'm very lucky. The teams who work for me are fantastic. There's the architects and the management people, the chefs, the couture crowd. They create a lifestyle around me just by being so supportive. That's why management is so important. It just doesn't run away. You don't create something and leave Authentic louboutin shoes. Here is a link that might be useful: cheap louboutin shoes on sale

Hey everyone I was just wondering if you could spare a minute to fill out a quick survey on bird watching. IâÂÂm currently studying IT at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia and at the moment weâÂÂre looking at bird watching as a part of design in context. Would really appreciate all the help I could get, thanks. Here is a link that might be useful: Survey
