This American Goldfinch in his summer feathers is my #BirdOfTheDay for today’s alternate theme, #yellow

Also, the woodpeckers love safflower!

I haven’t seen Bluebirds since spring, so I’m hoping they come back when it’s harder to find bugs

I used safflower for a big chunk of the summer because we were being overrun with Grackles and Blackbirds. We still got Cardinals, Mourning Doves, Sparrows, Titmice, Nuthatches, Finches, and Grosbeaks while they were around. I’m back to using a mix now, but seeing the same visitors.

Our Goldfinches stick around all winter.

It’s so strange!

Thanks, Alan!

Thanks, Rob!

For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme, #BirdsOnTheGround, here’s a city-dwelling House Sparrow.

You need to call out Sens. Shaheen and Hassan by name. As a NH voter, I am horrified and I feel betrayed.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #least, meaning a bird you don’t see very much. It’s always a treat for me to see a #NorthernFlicker. Merlin tells me they’re here far more often than I spot them.

And have been since the confirmation hearings

This is incredible!

And Cookie Puss!

I remember Target. They’re still around?

Two American Goldfinches go beak-to-beak on a feeder.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #fighting, and let this be a lesson to you: Never mess with a Goldfinch.

I sometimes send the Blackbirds to your house just to see your reaction. 😂😂

Mourning Dove sits on feeder tray and peers coyly into the camera.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CloseUps, and no one loves a close-up more than a #MourningDove

But are we the frog?

Thanks for the info, Alan!
