They must have heard the conversation with my husband at breakfast this morning because these two American goldfinches showed up with two others afterwards. Their song is beautiful. They were chattering away when my husband and daughter left for work and school today. I was able to walk up to the feeder quite close and take this photo too. They must be getting used to my presence now. Hope everyone is having a great day.

I wake to a beautiful sunrise this morning with yesterday's snow clinging to earth sharing its sparkling diamonds. The air is crisp and clean as it enters my lungs. I'm breaking snow as I walk across my yard towards the bird feeder. I want to treat the birds to a berry medley I bought last night at the grocery store.
What treats do you share with your birds at their bird feeders?

Upon our return home last night from town we saw these feathers close to the feeder. At first I was upset with our neighbors chihuahua for killing the bird. Then their kids came over and asked what I was doing and what did this? I couldn't answer them because I didn't know. One of them even suggested a cat but, my cat is a house cat with diabetes unable to go outside anymore. Our neighbors only have dogs or no pets. Could two birds have fought over the food leaving one dead or dying somewhere? I've never known two birds to fight so violently.
On a lighter note, I saw two deer in different places on the way home. The one standing next to the guardrail ready to jump at a given instant was a doe with black tipped ears and the sweetest face. I hope she waited until all the cars passed by before crossing the highway.

This male goldfinch was a character over labor day weekend. He was not only bold in color but in attitude as well. When we drove up to the driveway we saw him eating from the feeder. He flew to the barbed wire fence and waited patiently for us to go inside. When he came back to the feeder I had grabbed my camera. He was caught with a sunflower seed in his beak.
Afterwards my husband and daughter went outside to throw their new Nerf football. The goldfinch returned. He tried to eat more seeds when the football came hurling about a foot away from the feeder. Needless to say he wasn't happy with them. He squawked at them and flew around their heads letting them know he wasn't happy he couldn't eat his dinner in peace.

Seven sparrows in my front yard the other morning. They're foraging for the fallen seeds from the bird feeder. I love when they come to visit and get a bite before the grackles appear and scare them away. Those grackles can be bullies. What birds visit your bird feeder?
