"Hey Kathleen! You in there? Could you please come out and hang this up?"


Seven customers vie for four openings
at this popular neighborhood eatery.

Whenever it rains, the seeds in our popular finch feeder can get damp. Eventually they will harden and mold and have to be replaced.
In anticipation of wet weather, Kathleen often takes the feeder down and sets it on the covered deck.
Heavy overnight rains were again forecast on the 10 p.m. news last night, so the diligent manager removed her feeder to keep the seeds nice and dry.
At daybreak, this accommodation created some consternation in the sizable flock now dependent on this reliable feeding station.
An impatient customer (top photo) seemed to be urging Kathleen to hurry up and put the feeder back to its normal position.
