Recall the lesser goldfinches inhabiting the seedbags, posted last week? In nature, the same goldfinches would be swarming that prolific sunflower bush in a couple of weeks once the flowers give way to seeds.
By the way, here are the same seedbag feedbags with a full complement of 21 hungry birds. My thanks to Bob for sharing this photo.
That second photo is a classic!
ReplyDeleteWhat a classic. Males doing all the eating. Females off somewhere doing the work. I want to come back as a goldfinch.
ReplyDeleteNext year, will the seedbag feedbags be covered with peach-faced lovebirds instead of finches? LOL
ReplyDelete~Anon in AV.
Do the "lesser" goldfinches feel "lesser" themselves? (Ha, ha!) Nice bird photography!
ReplyDeletecat-A -- isn't it just -- friend Bob sent me a collection of hungry birds.
ReplyDeleteboonie -- I thought you had worked out a pretty good way of life already.
anon av -- not next year. Maybe in 10 years.
cmarie -- I too have often wondered about assorted bird name modifiers, like "lesser" or "great" or, for that matter, "endangered" and "threatened".
