eenie, meenie minie, moe. I chose this seed.

A couple of more shots from the backyard. Have lots of Goldfinches visiting again so they are either feeding up for their nesting or have finished. They are one of the latest nesters in our area.

I'm getting use to these wires.

This is the male feeding on the same seeds in the garden as was the female I posted last week.

Here is the female partner of the male in previous post.

Here is one of several pairs of these finches that I have coming to the feeders every day. The female is in the next post.

According to the camera data, this was taken at 6:15 AM, EST. He was a beautiful sight, in a beautiful setting. f6.3 1/250

Happened to catch this male Goldfinch, and his reflection, having a drink in our garden bird bath.

I was hoping for a long time for this shot to come to fruition.

While the coyote bush seemed to be doing fine, many of the trees looked to be suffering from a killer case of leaf curl - a fungus infection. Either that or a massive aphid infestation. I think this is some kind of willow. I was under it for a bit, trying to use it as a hide. It was not sticky...

A wee bit more obvious on this Goldie than on the others.

Several female and immatures the last week. Haven't seen an adult male yet though

I think this is a first year male and he arrived on Sunday, stayed at the sunflower hearts feeder all day and I haven't seen him since.
