Earlier this week, I moved the bird feeder from its original spot outside the dining room window to a sunnier and more accessible spot outside the living room window. I kept forgetting to fill the bird feeder when it was in its old spot, so it wasn’t fulfilling its duty as Prime Time Cat TV.
Looks like Cat TV is getting a ratings boost.
Baxter loves this new setup. While I’m not a fan of the chipmunks that seem to invade our yard and flowerbeds every few years, they’re entertaining to watch for pets and people alike. Baxter has taken to scratching on the window in his fervor to get the critters just beyond his reach.
Luckily, there have been bird sightings, too, and not just chipmunks. Just this morning, I saw a black-capped chickadee perched on the feeder, and I’m sure the robins have been enjoying the bird buffet.
I wouldn’t call myself a birder, per se, but watching wildlife does make me happy. It makes Baxter happy, too, so this new setup is a win for everybody.
Especially the chipmunks.
