Where are they?

 Have you ever given a party and wondered, just before guests are due to arrive "What if nobody shows up?"  I am beginning to feel that way.  Last Wednesday my spouse and I bought a new double hook bird feeder holder (shepherd's hook) because we decided we would like to add a second feeder, one that might attract cardinals and other interesting birds.  Then on Friday we went to Wild Birds Unlimited where a very helpful clerk, who knew everything about feeding birds, helped us select the correct style of feeder with the proper perches for cardinals and other larger birds.  Then of course we needed to purchase the correct seed blend, which we did.  We also bought a book on Indiana birds.  Did you know that you get a discount if you spend over $200 at WBU?

We brought everything home, filled the new feeder with the new wonder seed blend, and hung it out with our original feeder.  That was Friday.  So far no birds have come to the party.  Perhaps we should have sent out written invitations or posted maps on nearby lampposts?  My spouse insists that the birds will come, we just need to be patient.  I certainly hope he's right.  I want to watch them as I eat my breakfast, or lunch or supper.  I really don't care when they they come, just come!  The party just isn't the same without them.

Here's the feeder in question.  Don't you think it looks inviting?
