I Spy

Can you find Mrs. Goldfinch? She's in her sheik camo outfit to keep her safe.
Mr. Goldfinch is much easier to spot with his brightly colored summer coat and beret.
Can't believe this couple found this thistle sock I hung on the Red Bud tree
but they did! Thanks for the idea, Nanny! :)

  3. Lovely pictures Betsy. Amazing how God colors the Mr. & Mrs. huh? so that she's more protected. I laughed out loud when I read through your "Because we live with Autism" in your sidebar. You are such a great mama to allow such goings on...and you roll your eyes and keep on going. Blessings on you this week Dearie! XO

  10. The pictures are just stunning, Betsy.

    I never get the techinal name for things right. I called the sock my finch feeder, but now I will correctly call it a thistle sock. My goodness they eat a lot..the seeds really dissapear as the whole neighborhood of finches are coming over now.

    Thanks for saying Hi to Joyce.

  12. I need one of those outside my mother's window. I've seen some pretty little bird out, but ow that I think about it I'm pretty sure it was a yellow warbler.

  13. Martha ~ I don't think we have warblers! I'll have to look them up!

  19. Rebecca ~ I hope more come to this feeder! I suppose the word will spread! I'm amazed they can find it. Makes you wonder if they don't smell the seed!

  20. Hi! Betsy...

  21. Ok, I am going to have to try that. I had them at the feeder next to the house all winter but in the summer they just disappear. Maybe having it in a tree is more natural for them.

  22. L.D. ~ good luck with that. Hope they come back. They do love their thistle! And don't you love their little voices? They have the sweetest call of all the birds I think.

  23. Well, msut admit, my birds around here look distinctly dull in comparison to the burst of colour there in your backyard. :)
