The leaves get red in autumn. We have lots of titmouses here - they've been eating the catfood I put out daily for the one cat that's been coming around - crazy! (never understood why the plural is not titmice, but it is not!)

I've never seen the birds eating our cat food. I think I'd have more time to snap a picture if they'd munch on the cat food. Any movement and they fly from wherever they're perched. We have lots of cardinals, robins,Eastern bluebirds, and chickadees.

I have to look into whether is cheaper to buy catfood than birdfood, since they seem to like both!

Here they lay eggs 3 or 4 times a year so we have lots. Might be too cold in PA to do that. We used to have a couple living in a camellia shrub in the back yard but the cats have run them off.

Here is a red breasted woodpecker that was on my feeder this afternoon - we have a few of them - this one seems to be smaller than the rest. I never understood the name, as the head is such a bright red! I know they had already named the Red Headed Woodpecker, but surely they could have come up with a better name for this bird? The red on the breast is very faint. [/color]
