Kayre will be amused!

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!

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