We have had a very warm and sunny day today even though you see all the snow in these pictures, it is melting fast!
I just had to get outside and do a little hands on, decorating if you will, trying to make the area a little more bird friendly.
I placed this tarnished silver dish on the gazing ball stand and put some feed in it.

Since the water in the bird bath and every where else for that matter has been frozen for weeks, I decided to put their water in an enamelware dish. I like enamelware and thought my birds would too!
I have read that Northern Cardinals like a flat feeder so I found this tray in a pinch and put some cranberries and Cardinal Mix out on it.
Seems he likes nice dishes too!
Notice the American Goldfinch also in the dish?
Looks like he is fighting the Cardinal off!

I have several other species thrown in there too.
