WHOOOOOOOP! WHOOOOOOOP! Finch alert!!!

Yes, folks - I saw my very first finches on the new feeder this morning! First, there was a small female goldfinch, whose yellow feathers were more a light lime greenish looking affair... she was up and down, eating nyjer seeds for all she was worth, when suddenly Mr. Finch appeared! He was bedecked in brightest yellow, replete in black tails and a black top hat. He rudely chased the female away from the feeder, took a few bites of seed, and then looked straight at me and let loose with a burst of loud song, as if to say thank you. (Well, perhaps he was saying, "Women! Got to put them in their place!")

Hopefully they will tell all their friends about the new cafe. Now I await the hummingbirds...

And the count stands thusly:








Finches: 2!!

Hummingbirds: 0


















Sparrows: 143
