Finch drama

The finch family came to feed and apparently has a redheaded stepchild.
At least, one of the finches wasn't permitted on the perch. So, slowly he (I think it's an adolescent male) crept along the side of the feeder.
Meanwhile a chickadee showed up to wait its turn.




I believe I've now seen offspring of the crows and of the cardinals. It is a very breezy day, but the tiger swallowtail has been flitting around. We bought some portulaca to dress up the pole where the feeder hangs. The cardinals have been hovering to pluck something from the gone-to-seed parsley - seed or bug?
