Here it is, my new peanut feeder... which makes feeder number 5 for the backyard. I'm pretty sure when you hit 5 you're officially a crazy bird lady. So be it. I have always had red breasted nuthatches coming around so it only seemed fair to give them a feeder of their own. I was a little bummed for the first two weeks when the peanut feeder was only attracting squirrels. But then today it happened. I got my first white breasted nuthatch! Today, when it's dismally grey outside with the worst light. My red breasted nuthatches showed up too. So a pretty good day at the new peanut feeder even if it was not a great day to take bird photos.
