Feeding Frenzy

Yesterday morning our tube feeder was filled with all these
pretty, little birds with streaks of yellow on their wings. I had
never seen them before so I looked them up in one of my bird
books. It turns out that they are Pine Siskins. They're a part
of the finch family and often feed with flocks of goldfinches.
They're feisty little things. It was funny watching them
fighting for a spot on the feeder.


Lone goldfinch waiting for his turn on the feeder. I love the little
Siskin on the left. He looks like he's floating in mid-air :0)

Mr. and Mrs Tree Swallow and friends :0)

The Birds & The Bees

Dove & Goldfinch

I've really enjoyed our bird feeders! It's fun
watching different kinds of birds interact with
one another. For the most part they all seem
to get along :0)



"Those little nimble musicians of the air,
that warble forth their curious ditties,
with which nature hath furnished them
to the shame of art."
