FRONT BIRD FEEDER - dog tv

Recently I posted about the Downy Woodpeckers that frequent our suet feeder but we also have another feeder filled with sunflower seeds - and only sunflower seeds, because last year beneath my feeder was a sea of unwanted grasses and plants clearly spilled from the feeder. 

Birds like sunflowers and I like sunflowers, so next spring when some 'volunteers' appear under the feeder I just may leave them.

 This pair of rabbits are daily visitors outside of my dining room window. Whatever is spilled is not wasted; with -30 degree temperatures I feel obligated to keep the feeders full.
I find it incredible they can manage at all in this weather and am happy to help. 

The scene from inside is entirely different. 

Suzie is the latest addition to our family and she stands guard over the bird feeder plotting her escape for hours on end, thinking about how best to chase the rabbits, for hours on end.  
She does not mind at all that there is only one channel on her 'doggy 'TV'.

    1. I hope Suzie just wants to play with the bunnies, but hopefully she will never corner one and we will not have to find out for sure. Thanks for stopping by.

  6. You are lucky to have bunnies. I only see them in the evening if they want me to see them. However, with all the snow around, I don't know where they are -- seems like all their home is covered with snow.

    1. I feel very lucky; I also have to learn which plants they love and which they are less fussy about eating, but so be it, they were here first...
