Memories of Winter



The recent weather has made me wish for a few days of winter when these fellows, American Goldfinches (Cardeulis tristis), covered up my feeders. The hot weather has made my bird feeders rather desolate these days. With the exceptional Cardinal or Sparrow in the late evening, the only activity my feeders are seeing now are the two gray squirrels that like to hang from their hind feet and eat my sunflower seeds. Now the hummingbird feeders, that is another story. The activity there is constant. We even got a torrential downpour yesterday evening and there were the hummingbirds still fighting each other over their spot at the feeder. I don't know how they kept from drowning.
