A better bird feeder

(1974 November 14)

I am going to try to go to town on errands this afternoon, one purchase a small bird feeder. I made one out of the top of an ice cream 1/2 gallon carton, a big paper saucer on top of which is fastened with paper fasteners a 1# coffee can in upright position with lid on to keep out rain and to permit seeds to be added. So far have had chickadees and the little ones with topknots - what are those now? [Tufted titmice?] But I don't think I can get thru the winter with FOLGERS in bright red staring me in the face every time I look out of the window.
