I flew to Illinois for a few days to help my father with some upkeep to his house. Luckily, his neighbor loves to sip coffee on her back patio and watch the birds. She had 5 feeders in the backyard. After seeing me with my binoculars and camera the first day, she was sure to keep all the feeders full during my visit!
