Bird smorgasbord

Here is a "charm" of Goldfinches in their winter coats sharing a smorgasbord of seed (less the pickled fish) on my back patio. My bird feeders were frozen over, and I felt sorry for the neighborhood collection of winged lovelies so I put this on my open patio. It took about ten minutes before the birds found it. At one point I had five species at one time sharing the dinner table. In addition to the Goldfinches there were Cardinals, several species of Sparrows, Blue Jays, Tufted Titmouse's, Chickadees, Nuthatches, Juncos, and even a Mockingbird, Robin and an unkempt Starling or two. No Bald Eagle since there was no fish on the platter. Comments | Permalink
