You might call Economy Mills on Av A. They have a 50# wild bird mix for
about $15-16. They have 50# chopped corn for about $10. Corn not the best
diet, but is calories and most yard food goes to House Sparrows and doves.
Despite the rhetoric, corn is not "bad"; just not the "best". If you feed
it, they will come.

hahaha, we too have large numbers of birds at the feeders, including a
beautiful Cardinal this morning.
We go through 4 each 40 pounds bags of bird seed each month, though the
birds would eat more!! We get it at Gebo's at $14.99 per bag.
Any info on a better priced source would be good.

My wife corrected me as the junco's returned today - they are Oregon junco's
- male's have obvious black cape. Counted six in the group and fun to watch
and learn their behavior compared to the house sparrow. I'm assuming I'm
the rare house feeding in the snow as all the neighborhood birds seem to be
hanging out on my patio today. First time to see the local cardinal family
and a couple of mourning doves. Also had never seen doves as a group chase
grackles away. The mockingbird comes and tries to play king-of-the-hill and
chase everyone away, but that doesn't last long. More than the usual number
of finches on the thistle feeder.
