All of a sudden, the bird feeders are alive with activity. The Male and Female American Goldfinches are at the Finch Feeder eating thistle. A House Finch showed up as well as male and female Cardinals. A downy or hairy woodpecker works on the inverted suet cake, and the usual Song Sparrows are at the tube feeder. The male American Goldfinch has a brilliant yellow plumage that I can see from 150 feet away. All seems peaceful and good in the backyard today and the garden of native plants seems to be flourishing.
