Birds of a Feather Flock Together!

We are thrilled to see that the BRFAL "Christmas for the Critters" tree not only got our vote in the Parade of Trees at Mariners Landing, but it inspired a family to follow suit!

They wrote:

After visiting and voting for the "BRFAL Christmas for Critters Tree" at the parade of trees our family came immediately home and decorated a tree right outside the dining room window. We were quickly rewarded with a winter flock coming to dine."

Thank you Desnise P for sharing these photos and info with us, as it has made our day.

Please VOTE for our tree - the birds will thank you, and we thank you!
