Chickadees heart peanut butter

After getting an expensive bird bath and setting up a fancy feeder on a shepherd's hook to make my back yard amenable to birds, I have had no action attendant to either of these additions. However, the corny little pine cone feeders Ramona and I made together as a mommy and me project (smear peanut butter into a pine cone, roll it in bird seed, tie a piece of yarn on it, and hang it from the telephone wire) are attracting crowds of black capped chickadees, a lovely little bird. I love hearing their pips and "dee-dee-dee"s. So much for investing in infrastructure.
