Hi Lon,

Good point.  I have a neighbor who puts out pieces of bread so large you  
can see the birds carry them up into the branches, trying to break them up  
to get a piece small enough to eat.

Attracts all the wrong birds and rodents too.  When I write of "feeding",  
I refer to those people who create dependency.

Wish I had a pond to attract wrens.

Later,
Tom
