Adding Sunflower Seeds to the Peanuts

Tweet

Trying to attract more cardinals to the feeder. I know they really like striped sunflower seeds. They also like the peanuts, like the blue jays. Headed out later to run errands. I will pick up a bag of the seeds to mix in with the peanuts. Then hopefully, as they say, build them and they will come. Put seeds out, and the cardinals will appear. Trying to keep the other birds away, the sparrows especially. If not, they will return in the spring and may run off the bluebirds again. I have to be careful, as much as possible. Once it stays cold, I should see all kinds of birds, like this blue jay in January of this year in the photo. I enjoy seeing the backyard birds. Every year I see a different type of bird. Gotta get the ice out of the bird bath again today.
