Hi,
For many years we have had wintering Annas at our feeder. I used to have a
very elaborate formula that included baby vitemins and assorted other
gourmet baby diet items that we middle aged folks,didn't seem to have around
the house. Does anyone have a good recipe beyond the standard sugar water
to help our small flock of 3 make it through the winter?

By the way, on the subject of household lists. We have a long-standing list
entitled Birds at our Feeder. We include the Coopers who feeds off the
birds at our feeder, part of the feeder's food chain, we figure.
