They will leave the feeder and land in the snow if some seeds fall down.<br />And that is a house sparrow - they have big colony in our attic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-48041091869921358912010-12-30T06:31:51.092+00:002010-12-30T06:31:51.092+00:00Lol, I think that's hilarious Mark, kind of a ...Lol, I think that's hilarious Mark, kind of a gourmet mix for the holiday season!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072118694728610270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-78300221840543539552010-12-30T02:10:40.515+00:002010-12-30T02:10:40.515+00:00Hi Mark, i'm enjoying your blog over the holid...Hi Mark, i'm enjoying your blog over the holiday season.

I think I could trim my seed box out a little if I had a project like feeding the birds to use them up with. <br /><br />I want to add that your recent parsnip post looked delicious and I'd love it if you'd consider submitting it to the new issue of How to Find Great Plants. The deadline is December 31st and the guidelines have changed a bit, here's the link:<br /><br />http://www.appalachianfeet.com/how-to-find-great-plants/Eliza @ Appalachian Feethttp://www.appalachianfeet.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-71246258945915941152010-12-29T19:31:17.102+00:002010-12-29T19:31:17.102+00:00Very nice!
