Last night I borrowed my mom in law's tripod and tried my hand at "catching" some birds. With
the camera steadied I was able to pull of a few decent shots. I can see why some folks enjoy bird watching, they certainly are cheery little creatures. Though I think one could go through a small fortune in no time just buying birdseed. Perhaps I should have stuck to watching barn swallows. They eat flies and aphids, which means I don't need to buy anything, chatter endlessly, and are capable of wonderful aerodynamics.
Just the same, the finches are a pretty addition to my backyard collection of feathered friends. I suppose I'll just keep feeding them for now.

Know what you mean! We had to put Bird seed in our budget!!! haha.
ReplyDeleteI had the finch socks, but it really wastes seed, so much falls out, but since I got one like yours it stays fuller longer.
I do love watching our birds.
The feeding stations are full so often that I'm not sure I am going to be able to keep up with them. Do gold finches fly south in the winter? Maybe I need to feed them something beside Niger seed.
