Gone to the birds

For the past few months we've been putting out food for the birds, while it was too cold for the cats to get at them. In the past week it has taken a turn for the really cold and the birds are going through the food at an amazing rate. In a month they've gone through half of a 50 lb bag of seeds. Mostly the birds we see are red polls - which we find so amusing with their scrappy attitudes and red punk feathers.
