Put up a feeder sock and they'll come to your house Anne! And the more feeders the more finch! We had last year at one time, up to 42 on 4 feeders! What a fiasco that was. Many were fledgings, and hysterical to watch learn to fly in and eat! Even more fun if you get the finch feeders where they have to hang upside down.

For the last week, we've had another chickidee eating hanging upside down eating. Then that nuthatch stood on top of the feeder for nearly an hour watching and trying figure where they finch were getting the seed from! Too cute!
