A Day for Birds

 Paul and I were working in the yard today and heard a bird singing above us. It was a different sound.

it was the neighbourhood Red Cardinal but he was making a sound different from his usual one.

  As I approached the garage from the back yard I saw movement on my black-eyed-susans. Usually by now I have them cut down for the winter.

But I'm glad I had not because the 3 groupings in the front yard were full of Goldfinches.

They were holding onto the stems and eating the seeds in the black head of the flower.

Later in the afternoon they found the groupings in the back yard.

Later a sparrow joined in on the feast.
