Last night John and I took Teddy for a really long walk. When we got back we put him in the house and then set out in the middle courtyard of our community. There are alot of coneflowers and cattails. The coneflowers are in the courtyard part where there are park benches and the cattails are down in the middle areas on either side-kind of sunken garden like. John and I set out there for about an hour just watching 4-6 goldfinches stripping the coneflowers of their seeds. The males were getting super agressive and the females were daintily picking the seeds out and slowing eating them. The picture above wasn't one I took.
I love the goldfinches too. I was at Lowes the other evening and they had sunflowers for sale. Goldfinches were pulling the seeds out of the sunflowers right there on the sale tables;)

I love goldfinches! They are just stunning! I know that you had such fun watching them!:) Lori
ReplyDeleteI've had several visit my feeders. They come in sets of 4 or 5 ... and, I think some are little ones
ReplyDeleteI love watching them, too. We have some in our veggie garden snacking on the cosmos seeds. They are so funny!
ReplyDeleteSherri, Thanks so much for dropping by my place on various occasions. I've not had the same opportunity over the summer to blog, so I'm missing my visits to other blogs, including yours.
ReplyDeleteI do try to catch up and see how everyone's doing briefly, but probably once the days get shorter and cooler, we'll be spending more time ablogging.
In the meantime, enjoy all the beauty in your life.... Brenda
