Yes, birds are welcome here, though I can't guarantee their safety when cats are present. I've been feeding the winter birds with seeds on the spruce trunk and in a feeder hanging from a pine branch. I've been lucky -- cardinals and bluejays have graced the yard as well as chickadees, juncos, sparrows, etc. The robins have recently taken up worm hunting in the front yard.
A few minutes ago, I glanced out the back door and saw a flock of black birds (starlings? blackbirds? crows?) enjoying the seeds on the trunk and sharing a communal grassy birdbath at the back fence. Lots of splashing going on. I wish I had a working SLR camera and telephoto lens so I could capture sights like that.
