THIS IS REALLY NEAT THAT YOU CAN WATCH MIGRATORY BIRDS AND TELL BY THEIR PRESENCE OR ABSENCE WHEN SPRING WILL ARRIVE. I. JUST LOVE BIRD WATCHING.

WELL WE HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA HAVE DIFFERENT KIND OF BIRDS, WHICH AREN' T FUN WATCHING AT ALL. THESE ARE THE " SNOW BIRDS ". THAT IS A NICK NAME FOR ALL THE NORTHERNERS THAT COME TO FLORIDA IN THE WINTER MONTHS TO ESCAPE THE COLD TEMPS IN THEIR NORTHERN HOME STATES. THESE SNOW. BIRDS WITH THEIR OUT OF STAE LICENSE PLATE CARS USUALLY LEAVE MID APRIL OR WHENEVER EASTER IS .

THAT IS THE ONLY WAY WE FLORIDIANS CAN TELL WHEN SPRING HAS ARRIVED. :::)))

LOL! A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE WOULD FEED THE BIRDS. WE BOUGHT CANTAINERS TO PUT THE SEED IN AND OF COURSE THE BIRD SEED. WE WOULD GET A LOT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF BIRDS. WE BOUGHT A BOOK SO WE COULD SEE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BIRDS WE WERE FEEDING AND WATCHING. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SQUIRRELS THOUGH. NO MATTER WHAT WE DID THE SQUIRRELS WERE RIGHT THERE EATING WITH THEM OR EATING THE SEEDS THAT FELL ON THE GROUND. ONE YEAR WE EVEN HAD A FAMILY OF SKUNKS EATING THE SEEDS THAT FELL TO THE GROUND. THEY WERE ONLY THERE FOR THE ONE YEAR BUT THE SQUIRRELS WERE THERE EVERY YEAR.
I HOPE WE ALL CAN ENJOY A NICE SPRING AFTER THIS LONG HARD WINTER WE JUST WENT THROUGH.

WHEN I FIRST MOVED TO THIS HOUSE I WAS ALL EXCITED ABOUT FEEDING THE BIRDS, SINCE I LIVE ON A SLOUGH WITH LOTS OF WILD LIFE. BUT I FOUND THAT THE BIRDS POOP ALL OVER THE HOUSE AND THE WINDOWS AND THE SQUIRRELS I WAS FEEDING WOULD CLIMB UP MY PATIO SCREEN DOOR AND LEAVE HOLES WITH THEIR CLAWS, SO I REALLY SLOWED DOWN. AM NOW FEEDING JUST THE SMALLER BIRDS, LIKE YELLOW GOLDFINCHES,. THEY DO NOT CAUSE SO MUCH DAMAGE. AND I NO LONGER APPRECIATE SQUIRREL FRIENDS!
