Our bird "lunch counter".

  We are feeding the birds in the usual place viz
in the cluster of lilacs just behind the house where
we can watch them at close range from the dining room
windows. A quantity of millet seen [seed] was thrown out on
the 8th and a pound of suet hung in the lilacs on
the following day. This tempting feast remained undiscovered
by any birds until the 12th when a [male] White-breasted
Nuthatch, 2 Chickadees and a [female] Downy began coming to it[.]
Two Juncos found the seed on the morning of the 14th &
7 appeared that afternoon. At one time this morning
there were 4 Chickadees, a pair of Nuthatches, the [female] Downy
and 11 Juncos assembled at one time in and under
the lilacs making a pretty and animated picture of
bird life.

No Hawks

  I have not seen or heard a Hawk of any kind
since I came here on the 7th. Where are the Red-shoulders?
