    I took these pictures through the window glass the other morning...the birds are eating the seeds on my plants...and I thought the wind was breaking them down...who can be mad at a sweet little bird looking for food??? not me of course...

    I wish the Goldfinch's here would do that...it would save me a lot of time deadheading :)

    WOW great shots Sherry. I can never get clear shots like yours through my windows - maybe I should clean them more often. ;)

    I really do like these little birds. I am quite glad that you posted them. Is that a Cosmos seed head that it is feeding on?
    The flowers look pretty as well.

    I love finches. I leave the wild thistles grow out past the garage just for them. Great pictures, Sherry!
