For the birds

Inspired by Juniper Moon Farm's lovely post, on providing birds with nesting material in the spring, I have been collecting all these bits and pieces of leftover wool yarn for a while (be sure to cut the yarn in lengths of 4 to 8 inches and use a suet cage).

We have a beautiful, old established bird house up on a long pole in the back yard, but I must confess, I really want to lure a new family of birds to the side yard -

- because this bird house is attached to the window and open on the back:

It comes with a black square on a suction cup to give the young family their privacy. 

Can't wait to peek if someone moves in.
