The birds were more than willing to check out the wreath that my Mom made for me. I moved the wreath from my deck to the birds favorite fence post during a snowstorm, and then sat back and waited.

Cue the Bluejay...

Thanks Ian! Photographers secrets! Today a Bluejay was poking it's head through the center of the wreath from the back side. Can you imagine what a great shot that would have been!

Thank you Dan! It was snowing so hard that it made it hard for the camera to focus. Later in the day, I saw 4 birds on there at one time!

Thank you! It's amazing what they will do when you ask nicely! They had lots of places to find seeds, so I was thrilled that they chose to check out the wreath!

Thanks Craig! I'm sure a lot of the popularity was because I hung it on their special fence post. The seed disappears from that post quicker than anywhere else.
