I was cleaning up a few limbs in the yard. The strong winds on Saturday brought them down. It was then I realized that a large well branched limb would make a great bird feeding station for all seasons.

The limb would just need to be set in the ground like a post. The difference is that the branch can be placed straight or noticeably crooked. The choice is yours.

Just be sure the branches are strong enough to hold filled feeders. You can decide whether to purchase feeders or build your own.

Built in suet feeders are as simple as drilling large hole in the branch where the birds have room to perch. These holes can be filled with a sticky type of food. I make my own by heating inexpensive peanut butter. When it becomes almost liquid mix in bird seed and let it cool.

Don’t forget to keep all the feeders full. Your visitors will soon be helping themselves to the mosquitoes and other bugs in your yard and garden as well.

I’ll see you in the backyard.
