Goldfinches and Juncos

Design - "Sampling Thanksgiving"
Designer - Lizzie Kate
Fabric - 30 count Straw WDW linen
Fibers - GAST & WDW - 2 strands over 2 threads
Started - 23 November 2011
Completed - 24 November 2011


A great example of "messy equals bird-friendly".

After a couple of hard frosts the chicory plants are dead - but still have seeds.

The American Goldfinches and Juncos are loving this and munching down the seeds.

See?

Still a couple of pale blooms, but leaving the plants is a bird-friendly thing to do.

The Goldfinches have lost their breeding colors and are very muted now.

Bon appetite!
