Feeding the Birds

I don't have any inside pets so I feel that the birds are my pets. They know when it's time to be fed and during the cold months, when I get out of bed, they are sitting there waiting for me to come. I enjoy watching them from the kitchen window.

With the sleet, freezing rain, and a little topping of snow that we have just had here in the eastern part of the US, there have been so many birds at the feeders to watch.

In this photo, which I snapped from the kitchen window, of the butterfly bush located next to the bird feeders, I see 6 birds in the bush and one on the birdbath post. How many do you see?
