Sharing the Feeder

This is what a typical day at the thistle seed feeder looks like. We have "Petie" the one-eyed house finch (top left), a pine siskin (bottom left), and two goldfinches on the right.

Below are "Petie" and a goldfinch trying to stay warm in the Aspen tree.

I just had to post these cute pictures of house finches. They and the goldfinches are the only birds that come every day to the feeders without fail.

House Finches seem to like any kind of seed I put out. To discourage house sparrows, I've quit offering seed mixes and put out thistle seed and suet instead. Now house finches are the most commonly seen birds at our feeders.
