@traceysday - No! I'm not that clever!!! It was actually two birds (of aboout 7 regular visitors to my porch) that were waiting on top of the feeder for the ones below to finish!!
@traceysday - I hadn't seen them either, before moving to South Carolina! They're female finches. Sometimes we'd see as many as ten of them all along the fence! The males still have that speckled touch to them but they're prettier, they have red chests, and we saw those too. We've recently moved house (still in SC) and I haven't seen one bird in our yard yet... I need to set the feeder up and start to encourage them!
Like I mentioned in the other thread, I am surprised by how many bird photos I have. I was only intentionally feeding two of them, but all five of these photos are taken in my back yard. The first three in WA and the last two in NY.
it is national feed the bird day today so lets see all of your bird shots
