I finally got a pic of some house finches at the feeder. The one in the center is a house finch, the other 2 are goldfinches in winter plummage.
Those finches certainly seem to be enjoying the food you leave out for them. I'm spending a fair amount on bird food at the moment as I feel so sorry for them trying to find anything to eat that isn't frozen or covered in snow.
I only feed black sunfloer seeds mixed with some cracked corn. The sunflower seeds runs about $24 for a 50 lb bag.One 50 lb bag of corn will last all winter.
I feed my birds on sunflower hearts, peanuts, nyjer seeds and fat balls/fat cakes. Now and then I'll cut up an apple for them too as the blackbirds, in particular, enjoy a bit of fruit. My birthday is coming up soon so I've asked Ian and the kids to buy me food for my little feathered friends as I love to see them every day.
Great picture Capt. I haven't been able to take any good pictures of the birds here. They have been very nervous since the hawk discovered their feeding spot.
