We're pleased that our bird feeders are proving to be popular. We have two - one on the bay side and one on the canyon side of the house. The one on the bay side is mounted on the balcony outside my work and exercise space, within easy reach of my camera. So, most of the photos here are related to that one.

We're getting ready to for another project. The private outside door to our entry level space is quite weathered. So sanding and refinishing is in order. Erick is making sure we have all the right supplies and I'll be doing the sanding (a bit at a time) and will finish it with spar varnish.
Here's the "before" photo:

An aside - Oakland and Alameda County are big on recycling. It's a 3 bin system: gray for recyclables like cardboard, paper, plastic and metal containers; green for food waste and yard waste that's compostable; burgundy/brown for anything that can't be put in the other two. We find that the gray bin typically fills up first. (It's all those boxes from online ordering.)
