The feeder was popular this morning with house finches, goldfinches, cardinals, and a grackle that got dumped with a clang. Both goldfinches tried to hurry things along by pecking at the sunflowers - this is the female. I am remembering that Mary Reid Barrow says goldfinches are now nesting and that, unlike other seed-eaters, they feed their offspring seeds in the nest.A little green heron perched on a piling but too far for the camera to get a sharp image. The chickadees and titmice are up and feeding now. And bluejays are looking for fallen seeds.
