You are a good person to take the time to feed all those lovely songbirds. Where I live we don't see the birds up close, but I do hear them.

Mornings here are usually greeted with the sound of seagulls, later in the day a bit of cooing from pigeons and crows. Not these smaller birds, whose songs are so sweet.

I have a CD of bird songs loaded on my iMac that I play at times in the summer as the sun comes up and sometimes it draws these little ones to respond. I miss hearing the birds in the trees.

When I lived out on the prairie, we were greeted by the song of the meadow larks and the morning doves with their low notes, that remind me so much of my youth. I'm betting these birds sing a little bit to brighten your day.
