Returning to normal

Well, things are returning to normal, we had a couple medical issues to take care of and we did, trip to the Emergency Room for My Honey, Blood Pressure went whacky and some breathing issues, Cardioligist changed her meds and we will see, so far so good,   I had some Issues also,  overdid it !  We have both just been laying low and doing nothing major !
.
We went back to watching the Birds at the feeders!    I was busy and made a new platform feeder and did some overhead lighting changes in the basement going from floresecent 4 foot lights to the new 4 foot LED, WOW, what a difference, I went from 3 of the 4 foot lights to just 1!
.
.
The rear deck had the flooring tightened down with some 3 inch screws and the spindles tightened up and I put up the platform feeder My Honey wanted !
.
.
I attached the Platform feeder to the top railing of the deck and you can see the yellow feeder and suet feeder behind, feeder has thistle, cracked corn and sunflower, saffron and some millet seeds.
.
.
This is our Fall view of the woods behind the house looking north from our deck !
.
.
3 Blue Jays come in and scare other feeders away from the feeder, we have watched a blue jay attack and kill a smaller sparrow once and could not believe how viscious they were !
,
.
We finally have seen a "Nuthatch"  at the feeder, we have not seen one here at the new house till yesterday morning !
.
.
There is a pair of "Flickers" here that come in under the feeder looking for bugs and worms, they are a member of the "Woodpecker" family !
.
.
We have about 2 dozen Sparrows that visit, the one shown in the front is "Tiny Tim" !  We call him this as he has a broken eg, either from a crash or bad landing, he is calmer than the other birds,  he gets in the feeder and just lays down and eats!
.
.
There are about 2 dozen "Sparrows" here and they are hungry eaters !
.
.
I caught "Tiny Tim" flying away from the feeder, here you can see his left leg as it hangs and the right leg is tucked up !!!!
.
.
AND, any feeder would not be complete without a Chipmunk or Squirrel, well, here is "Charlie Chipmunk" stuffed cheeks in all !
.
Getting things done for "Fall" as we are now "Home Owners" and we love it, just have to earn to slow down !
.
Don't forget our Vets !

I know it is hard to slow down when you enjoy the work. BUT, BUT y'all take it easy. You skeered us a little, cause sometimes problems are 'underblown'.
Any the way, glad to have you back to normal.. Now keep watching the danged birds for awhile. LOL
Love from down here.
