I sat on the porch and watched this guy. I now understand why this birdfeeder needs to be filled every day. This guy was going crazy. With each piece he picked up, several pieces flew through the air. There were a few sparrows on the ground, so I assumed he was sharing his meal.
Picky little guy! It's amazing what those seed look like when they aren't eaten off of the ground and "grow up!" We always had a bunch of weedy looking stuff under the feeder! This is such a cute capture ,.. I love the flying seeds and the colors.
He's just picking out the things he likes - my kids do when I make stir-fry! Thank goodness for mourning doves and sparrows that so willingly clean up the mess below.
What a great shot, Rick. Love the way he (she) is kicking out those seeds and you were able to stop them mid-air. Great capture. Made me smile. What a lovely bird too. Am thinking we need a feeder too. =)
Well Rick that's the same at our feeders..usually the morning doves eat from the ground and of course the squirrels have some of it too.. is this a goldfinch? beautiful.
Fabulous action shot, Rick! This made me smile. Sharing is good, although I suspect greedy might be more accurate. Your kind take on this scene really made me happy.
