In Washington County, MN, this morning, saw 100+ sandhill cranes flying in three flocks in SW direction, and saw 2 great blue herons flying northward. A question: my daughter living in Capitol Hill, DC, wants to attract birds. Someone dissuaded her from hanging a feeder because "it'll attract rats" so she's asking about bird houses. Any comments? Thanks. Mary
