Maybe one of my friends who frequents Costco will pick up some birdseed for me. Thanks for the tip!<br /><br />We have one woodpecker that makes a regular appearance (not every day, but several days a week). Yes, he loves those peanuts! Unfortunately, the bluejays and the crows love the peanuts too.<br /><br />I get unsalted peanuts in the shell every week when I go to the grocery store.<br /><br />A few of our cardinals nest near the house -- close to the piano-room window. Our three cats, all inside cats, do a lot of bird watching.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437703650258044946.post-78607763439491043192014-03-22T13:21:23.884-04:002014-03-22T13:21:23.884-04:00AOW If you live near Costco, they have a fantastic...AOW If you live near Costco, they have a fantastic bird food, large bag (40lbs?) It is mostly black w/red and white lettering. Cardinal and Songbird food.<br /><br />Sunflower, dried fruit, peanut, and some white (hulled something or other, not those little round balls the birds ignore)<br />We've got woodpecker here and they love peanut,so I buy a 2 lb bag of shelled peanut and add to the bag.<br /><br />It smells wonderful and the birds eat every crumb of it and it's not expensive. So, we've got woodies, cardinal, a host of small multi-coloreds. The only birds that don't come by are the little yellows that eat thistle seed. I think I'll hang some bags this year for them.<br /><br />But yea, nice sight when looking out the window washing dishes or out in the pool in summer.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437703650258044946.post-9611319879771687302014-03-22T04:43:07.736-04:002014-03-22T04:43:07.736-04:00Kid,
