I now have four tube feeders in the back yard to help accommodate the large mixed flocks of Pine Siskins, Lesser Goldfinches, and American Goldfinches.
I think this is a better than average year for Black-headed Grosbeaks. I am seeing 6-8 birds at a time and hearing still others.
Last spring was a bust for Evening Grosbeaks.
This year is better, and while I'd love to have still more birds, I'm grateful to have even a few.
I continue to hear them daily.
And they continue to come to the back yard feeders.
I am confident that there are two pairs, and maybe a third.
Now it is a waiting game. Will any stay in the area and breed?
Your PS bird stitch is darling. What beautiful birds to see!
ReplyDeleteI just love your blog. I look forward to it every night, and love the wildlife photos and knowledge you share. I also love all your stitching and how you organize and share it throughout the year. Thank you!
