A few days ago she posted a photo of a goldfinch sitting on a hummingbird nectar feeder. Well, in a mirror image . . .

I have had a thistle seed tube for goldfinches on my deck, and have only seen one or two the whole time. BUT . . . a moment ago, I saw a flash of iridescent green out of the corner of my eye as I was standing in the kitchen near the deck door. A hummer! Indignant to find a thistle seed feeder hanging where the nectar feeder hung last year!

Shows they have good memories, and this must be a returnee (the thistle feeder did not have any red on it at all, so a newcomer would not have mistaken it for a nectar feeder).

I just took the thistle feeder inside and put the nectar feeder in its place. Glad I had the nectar on hand!

Oh, that's both cute and funny. And reminds me that I need to get one. I should've brought the ones I bought when I left OK but he claims to be using them.

And you know how to make your own sugar water, right? 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. Use ordinary granulated white table sugar added to boiled water.

I confess I still had some powdered mix from last year. I should just make my own, though.

Well, it's good to use what you have on hand. I've just always made my own 'cause it's so easy.

Cute! I'm glad you were able to get the hummingbird feeder out quickly.
