There’s nothing better than being able to sit at my desk, while enjoying all of the noise & traffic that goes by my window each day! Traffic you ask? Yes! The best kind of traffic… wildlife roaming through the yard, enjoying a little treat as they go about their day 🙂
I’m talking, of course, about our bird feeders!
With this being our first year living at the cottage in the woods, we are just starting to get a taste of the joys of living with nature 😉
I thought I’d share a few pictures of the recent guests to the cottage feeder.
The first up (one pictured above) are the wonderful finches! They come in so many colors & sizes – but most of all – they have the most beautiful songs!
Then there are the little guys like this little chipmunk! So cute & tiny – we love to watch them stuff their cheeks full of goods then run back under the trees!
And last of all… the bigger guys like this sneaky raccoon! I do love wildlife… but I hope this is as big as the visitors get! After all… there were a few bear sightings in our area last year – yikes!
* Did you know that raccoons have “thumbs” which is why they are able to open trash can lids, and get into lots of other trouble around your property?!
* Do you know what a baby raccoon is called? Answer: A kit
I live in a suburb of Detroit, but we get so many wonderful birdies too!
This is the first time I’ve put out finch food — and you know what? It’s the first time EVER that we’ve had finches! Imagine that! LOL They do have the best song, don’t they?

That’s a nice birdfeeder. I like the shape and it gives them someplace to perch. I can do without the yearly chipmunks. 2 years ago one burrowed a tunnel/nest under one of my prize oak leaf hydrangeas and it died.
Finch’s are beautiful with the most delightful song. I do enjoy the birds!

I love your kind of traffic!!! 🙂

We used to have squirrels that would jump from a tree in our back yard to a bird feeder. It was so fun to watch them.
