Getting old and forgetful ;D.<BR/><BR/>Gesele; I just love to watch the birds in the winter.It can be very interesting and comical at times.<BR/><BR/>Spookydragonfly: We got about 3 inches of that white stuff. Yes, your cats would catch the birds drinking.<BR/><BR/>Susan: The breeding idea must have something to do with it.<BR/><BR/> Girl's ; I had to refill the birdbath this morning. They had it about all splashed out.
