Standing Room Only at the Feeder

 


As I have mentioned before, the surprise of my COVID year was the number of birds in the neighborhood. They certainly weren't shy about visiting my yard once we set up the two different feeders. The American Goldfinch was an early favorite and they came in waves over the spring and summer. In the fall and into the early part of the winter, it was interesting to see them change colors to drop the bright yellow as flowers in the nearby prairies also changed to more muted colors. Took awhile to get all the rungs filled but with a little help from Photoshop, got a nice selection of visitors to the feeder. Looking forward to seeing the bright colors again this spring, although a few look like they are going to hang around all winter.
