There are 60 to 80 sparrows and chickadees, along with about three dozen quail, who are guests at my backyard birdfeeders each winter. The other day I took a couple of day old biscuits out to the feeder and never gave it another thought. Evidently our resident bird dog, Phoebe, thought the biscuits were too good for the feathered crowd. She jumped up on a deck bench then climbed a mound of snow to reach one of the feeders to retrieve the prize. After a couple of tumbles into the snow she gave up the quest and the birds soon made short work of their treat.
