Lunch at the Railing Café by sunnygreenwood

Lunch at the Railing Café

This little American Goldfinch and a few dozen of its buddies visit our deck daily. We live on the very northern edge of its year-round habitat.

Many thanks for dropping by and for putting the chickadee shot on the pop page ---- a very short lived stay there, but there none the less. ;-)
Cute! Fav :D

Anne I am enjoying all these shots of different birds. i get to go bird watching in the comfort of my own home thanks

I love this, Anne! So adorable. Do you just put bird seed all over your deck railing? I thought of you all last week when I was painting and redoing my bathroom because I chose birds as the theme. And I got a bird feeder for Christmas, so hopefully I will be able to capture some beautiful birds this winter.

Very adorable capture! She's a beautiful bird.
December 29th, 2011  
Anne, It looks as though it's sitting on a mound of sunflower seeds! I love the bright yellow right beneath its beak - they must be so much fun to see up close!

@lauriehiggins thanks laurie! don't forget to post a pic of your bathroom! Yes, Barry just rolls out about 5 lbs of seed on the railings this time of year. In a few weeks it will be closer to 10 lbs, when the grosbeaks are here in full force. The birds and squirrels eat better than we do. Don't get me started on the dogs! ;-)
