WOW.
Talk about the signals of fall. Yesterday I counted 8 goldfinches at the feeding station. The two feeders were rocking and those that couldn't fit were under them on the platform picking up the discards.
The crazy thing? Most of the females were almost BROWN. You know... that beautiful shade of milk chocolate with a hint of citrus. The surrest sign of all that fall is quickly upon us.
It seems early with it still being August, but since summer arrived in April this year I guess I can't complain. The birds all arrived earlier so I guess it makes sense that they'll leave earlier.
I guess I'll have to pick up some regular bird seed next week and start keeping the feeders filled...I had a dream that the Harris sparrow showed up last night...I hope that's not true...yet.
