Those finches are beautiful Medusa.
That was quite the fight those two got into.
Thanks for showing us. Looks like the finches like the sunflower seed more than the thistle seeds. That’s interesting.

I agree. They do go to the finch feeder, but not nearly as much as the sunflower feeder. We are hoping the finch feeder will attract some gold finches.
I don't know where our cardinals and woodpeckers have gone. :/

That male cardinal who looked like he was annoyed by someone or something.....
wasn't annoyed at all.
That is exactly how they roll each individual seed around in their mouth, to prep it for swallowing, Or to reject and spit it out.
That's how they pare/peel the hard shell off the black oiled sunflower seed.
I find it fascinating to watch them do that.

No woodpeckers today, but I did get a shot of Mr. Cardinal. Haven't seen him or his mate in a while so I was glad for the sight of him. It's a bit blurry because it's wet and rainy here and the picture was taken before I'd cleaned off the lens and refilled the feeder.
And our little junco friend is back! I haven't seen him in a while either.
I just thought he looked pretty in the sun.
Madam, please. :/ She is kind of sweet though, really.
Just a nice angle.

It's funny how all of us humans do unlimited projection.Oh, look at that! Sweet little guys.

That male cardinal did appear to have a scowl on his face,
So we easily assume he's grumpy or aggravated.
Sort of how a crocodile with its mouth wide open, appears to be smiling and happy....
So we might assume he's friendly.
Except we have more knowledge about him.

Well, even now armed with the knowledge you've shared... I maintain he was grouchy.It's funny how all of us humans do unlimited projection.
