There is an old folks home between home and school.  One of the residents
put up two feeders, one for hummingbirds and the other for goldfinches and
LBB's (little brown birds).  They are on adjacent windows on the third floor,
about 8 feet apart, and I have observed activity at both.  Must make life
a bit more bearable for the person inside.
