Photo Description Every morning, I go out and put fresh seed and suet in the feeders.  When I raise the blinds at the kitchen window, they see me and know I'll be coming soon.  They are like a bunch of chickens waiting to be fed but when I go out, they take off and return only when they know I'm not close by. We have a variety of beautiful birds that visit our yard: Bluebirds, Doves, Cardinals, Gold Finches, Nuthatches, Tufted Titmouses, Chickadees, Juncos, House Finches, Woodpeckers, Brown Thrashers, Cedar Waxwings, Carolina Wrens, Sparrows, Mockingbirds, Northern Flickers, Robins and Bluejays. I have probably missed naming some but it's a lot.  I keep "An Audubon Handbook of Eastern Birds" handy so I can identify them. There are 14 birds in this picture.  Can you find all of them?  One is in flight and blurred.
I love feeding the wild birds during the cold months.  I spend a lot of time  standing at my kitchen window watching them.

This White-breasted Nuthatch has found a nice warm spot in the sun to take a little snooze. He is an amazing bird to watch as he crawls upside down and sideways on the posts to approach the feeders. I have seen only one at the feeder and he is a regular every day visitor.
