The Gold Finches Are Back



If it were not for the garbage truck that chased away most of the birds I would have had a better picture. The Finches are back early this year. They do not have their mating plumage just yet but they are pretty with the slight tint of a green when the light hits them just right. They are squawking away at the thistle seed socks that I bought yesterday. Last year I would go through about one pound of seed a day filling their socks up.
Last year I was enlightened by the Raspberry Finches as well.



Now if I can just get another couple of Blue birds to nest in one of the 7 nesting boxes I have hung up I would be a happy camper.
