I have been feeding them in the winter, but come spring the winter birds are replaced by the undesirables like black birds, starlings and robins.
Last evening we had a huge, noisy convention of Ravens, our most populous avian species. We have no Crows, just the larger Ravens. We have to put rocks on our trash can lids when set outside for pickup, otherwise the strong Ravens will take off the lids and go in after the goodies! Hal
