Leon,
This has to be one of the best banners. My husband and I love birds and feed them everyday (feeders and on the ground) of the year. We also have 6 hummingbird feeders that we put out during hummingbird season. We have a peanut feeder, 2 suet feeders, a mixed seed feeder, filled thistle sock that get changed to a new one every week or more if needed, a feeder that we call "the sunflower feeder" (mostly sunflower, but has more goodies). In the late winter/early spring, I spread the Wild Birds Unlimited hot pepper Bark Butter on our redbud tree.
We have 3 Brome Squirrel Buster feeders

and use hot pepper suet cakes in the suet feeders because of the squirrels.
We have been feeding the birds everyday (in feeders and on the ground), since Dec. 2000. The Eastern Cottontail rabbits and more than welcome to enjoy the mixed seeds I put on the ground, but the squirrels, not so much. We get a bunch of them every day of the year.
We also hang a birdhouse out under our Magnolia tree. We get a family of chickadees and then a family of house wrens. I clean it up in the fall and leave it out for the birds, in case some want to take shelter in it from the cold days and months.
The song birds, hummingbirds, butterflies and bees are wonderful and a joy to have around. We love seeing all the different birds here each season. Spring and summer brings lots of juvenile birds coming with parents and/or by themselves to feed. So sweet with their begging calls and their flapping of the wings begging for food to the parents.
Wonderful overall and I love it. Thank you for posting all your beautiful and wonderful pics.
