Today seem to be the day for the birds to start using the feeders, and so far today I've had the following visitors:
Carolina Chickadee
House Finch
Tufted Titmouse
Carolina Wren
Northern Cardinal
Also, the Tufted Titmouse decided that he/she needed a bath, and the dent in the lid of our county-issued garbage dumpster (it's designed for the robot arm trucks, and holds about 100 gallons) which had filled with rain water over night made a pretty good birdbath. I so love Titmice, their antics are always amusing, and they thing they are about twice as large than they really are. Their actual size is 6", including their tail feathers. I think my husband and I are going to have to find a bird bath on clearance, so they can all have a real bath.
When I get some pictures of my visitors, I'll post them here. Today is not the best day for taking a picture of a brown bird in a brown tree, it's completely overcast here. When it is sunny, I hope to get some good photos of my visitors.

You know how you can tell a Wren from other birds?
They're always the ones with their butts in the air!
Yep, and they're so cute because of it. I just have to whip out Peterson's Field Guide to Eastern Birds to confirm which species it is.
