I think it looks pretty good for taking it through the glass!

Thanks Annie. Love the 2nd pic. Can see the seed in his beak....He must be hungry. They are out here already this morning too!

Nice! I keep trying to grow sunflowers and no luck yet!! Though what the chippies plant seem to grow real good!

Re: GoldFinch
Those sunflowers are growing from the wild bird seed I feed the birds in the winter time...LOL. But the birds don't care if they are pretty...as long as the seeds are tasty to them.

Re: GoldFinch
Nice shots! And yes, feeding sunflowers allows us all we need in flowers each year! Did you see my post about the one we had (sunflower) that grew from feeding the birds. I can't remember now, but it was like 207 heads on it! it was HUGE!!!!!!!!Absolutely fun watching birds! Wish old' coot was able to see your pics! Hope he gets on soon and can browse around!
