the bird feeder

ma & pa gave von a bird feeder for halloween ... and he LOVES it!! ask him where his bird feeder is, he takes you by the finger and runs to the window or sliding door to call/point at the birds.

* important to note that von may now think squirrels are birds since they are attempting to dominate the bird feeder. cute *

anyways, the feeder is a hit with the neighborhood wildlife. thus far, we've had deer, chickadees, birds we can't identify, and squirrels galore at our feeder. we're refilling it about every two days and assume we'll be responsible for some pretty overweight animals come spring. look closely at the pictures and you'll see birds in the grass, flying to/from the feeder, and possibly even catch a glimpse of a quarrel (the feeder has absolutely caused some tiffs between our hungry friends).
