Our son, Tait, is facinated by birds and was worried that with the cold weather hitting Mishawaka, "his" birds would be hungry and have little options for food. These photos are of Tait's birdfeeder, located just outside the family room window where Tait spends a lot of his time enjoying his birds and making sure they have enough to eat. What these little birds are not aware of is that sweet Tait enjoys them maybe even more than they enjoy the food he makes sure they get!

Thank you, Tait, for making my day! With all the gloom and doom out there; you are truly a star! I love birds and please never give up on them.

Thank you all for the comments! I read this to Tait this morning and he is running around the house happy as can be, singing "I'm on the news" over and over!
