The Birdy Bush



It is the lady of the island's habit to put a row of sunflower seeds on the railing of the kitchen deck at the beginning of each day.


We have a flock of sparrows on the island that is quite dispersed among the many trees. That is, until they hear the call "birdy, birdy, birdy." Then they all fly to the bush at the kitchen deck railing to watch eagerly as the morning's snack is laid out.


I could only catch a representative few with my little camera. Often the center of the bush will hold another twenty or so.


The Squirrels are always happy to help with the clean up.
