So a couple weeks ago, I threw out some old grapes that we hadn’t eaten. \u00a0I didn’t want to compost them, I was hoping some bird might like them. \u00a0I put them in a small conifer next to my compost bin and pretty much forgot about them. \u00a0Today I found out that the Northern Mockingbird in my yard is coming in to eat them. \u00a0I don’t normally get mockingbirds to spend much time in my yard (seen only 6 times in 2013 and 2014), so I was happy that the bird had found these grapes\u00a0in time for the Backyard Big Year. \u00a0So next time you have fruit that goes bad, stick it in a tree and maybe your bird friends will find it for a nice midwinter snack.<\/p>\n
