We spoil our birds with "the good stuff" from WildBirds Unlimited - which also have great feeders that have lifetime warranties! <br /><br />And funny you should mention San Diego -- I'll be there for a work conference in late April. However, unfortunately I don't really have time to bird and explore. But we definitely need to check out more of California some time. And this past weekend we actually did get to see a little bit of dancing grebes! I just about jumped out of my skin! I was so excited and wish there wasmore going on. It was like they were rehearsing for the big showcase that will come in a few months.Maureen Leong-Keehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520703570778913408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042782379701099694.post-13010348374908432222015-03-24T07:37:06.144-07:002015-03-24T07:37:06.144-07:00Wow, that sounds like an amazing day, thanks for t...Wow, that sounds like an amazing day, thanks for the description. And those goldeneyes, jeepers they are SO gorgeous--great photographs! Glad to hear the female was not dead--very much alive, thank you. =)<br /><br />Thank you for reminding me to buy some more bird seed--our last batch is SUPER lame and the birds have largely ignored it. I want my windows to be more birdy, like the deck you found. =) Random thought: I also like that the bird feeders are metal and not plastic. Seems more sustainable to me. Lovely grosbeak!<br /><br />If you are ever in San Diego, I think you'd be very happy with a hike at Lake Hodges (north end of the county). Every time I went there I saw a pretty amazing mix of birds, and once saw dancing-on-the-water grebes.
