You have the most beautiful "weeds"! That groesbeak is something else. Your yard must be in constant motion with the birds, deer, and other wildlife. Thanks for sharing it all with us.
Your finches must be eating grass seed. The only time the finches are around is when they converge on the 8 'seat' thistle feeder. Then birds 9, 10 and 11 play musical seats with 1 - 8. Pretty Grosbeak, I have not seen one in a long time. Jerry
The finches love the sunflower feeder. They gang up on it so bad you can't see the feeder. The wind got to blowing so hard we had to take the feeder down. So the birds are on the ground getting spilled seed.
