Best decorated tree

| I found a perfectly decorated tree this morning. The Bluebirds were all there waiting for me to fill the mealworm feeder. You can't see them all, but I got a count of 10. Last year my Bluebird flock only had five birds, so this is great. I can't believe I'm so lucky to have them way up here in Massachusetts.

| Well, I am sooooooo jealous! Don't know that I've ever seen that many blues at one time. Great pic and thanks for sharing. |

| Thanks Donna! I had never even seen an Eastern Bluebird, much less a winter flock in the first 50 years of my life. So this is really cool for me. Keeping up with feeding 10 of them will be a challenge. I have 8 bins of mealworms in various stages, but most too small to feed out yet. I've ordered more. Thankfully they will eat the suet crumbles too. Plus I got a heated bird bath for Christmas, so that will help a great deal. Last year when they came, I had to keep defrosting the water bowl and refilling it with warm water. |

| Just wonderful! That's an amazing sight....I've never seen more than my couple plus current babies. They must be very satisfied with the fare at your place!!! Do you make your own suet? Ann |

| catlady, yes I make my own suet. Last year my little flock stayed until breeding time, so hopefully this flock will stay around all winter. There are ten of them, and they just mob the mealworm feeder when I fill it. I don't know how to say no to them, so I am filling it three or four times a day. Thankfully I got another order of mealworms in today, so I won't run out. Funny, I get them in the winter, but come spring none have ever nested in my boxes. |
