On a daily basis, I see chickadees and nuthatches, cardinals and finches, blue jays and a few wild turkeys at the feeders! I was able to get within 4 feet o.

This Blog is built - not, as some might expect, on a flimsy whim but on a strong and single minded principle. That principle concerns Biscuits and their position in the world.
