Caught mid-seed

Back to the birdfeeder next door. I hate to overdo it, but I don’t have many more new pictures (and no opportunity to get out until after work on Saturday and Sunday), and these guys are right outside my front door. Interestingly enough, there were only a few of them there, and suddenly they just took off, leaving a lot of seed in the feeder. Maybe they found another source with better birdseed!

Actually, black oil sunflower seed is preferred by a lot of birds. Some of the seed mixes can result in a lot of weeds in your garden. I get "volunteer" sunflower plants, but I let the grow and bloom because the goldfinches love to eat the seeds right from the flower. Some birds with very fine beaks can't crack the sunflower hulls, so they don't come around.

You really know how to coax out a pose!
This is so much fun just to sit and look at

standing tall, perhaps energized by the millet and sunflower seeds...
