Magical Birds found in Rochester, NY

In January 2000 Jennifer and I visited Chatt Seniors in Rochester, NY. It was late January and a pretty cold day. I don't recall why we made the trek to Rochester from Youngstown, Ohio but it was a magical afternoon for all of us that day. Mom or Dad said, lets to on a hike and see if we can feed the birds with seed. Jennifer probably coaxed me into going as I am sure I had plenty of other things to be doing and we made the trip to the "bird" trail with seed in hand.

We started out on the trail and began to put seed in our hands. With a little patience birds came to our hands and ate the seed. Consistently as soon as we put out seed, the birds came. We started putting seed on our shoulders,our hats and they ate seed wherever they could find seed. It was an amazing experience and those few hours went by in a flash. Take a look at the photos below and please look past the coke can size glasses. What a great memory!


You can see from the above picture that Chatt Senior has a bird on his cap. We all had birds on our head that day. Just an awesome experience on a cold wintry day in Rochester, NY.
