I have been trying to find out what these little birds are. Anyone out there have a clue? They love the finch sock I put up and are very shy. The picture is not super clear because I had to use the digital zoom and I have an old camera. So forgive the quality.
Also, we finally are getting a little rain. Not a ton, but every drop counts right now. I also ordered some Datura seeds from Seedman.com. If you haven’t seen these gorgeous flowers, go over to Tom’s blog at Seventh Street Cottage and check out his post on his night blooming ones. Simply gorgeous! While you are over there, take a look at his other posts as he has a beautiful garden and it’s worth the browsing.
Thank you!
Peace!
You need to add a Petersens's bird identification book to your wish list. Congrats for catching photos of these speedy flighty feathered creatures–that's what I'll call them, since I'm too lazy to go upstairs and identify them in the bird book for you. It's a type of finch–I think.
Thanks Cat! If you want any seeds from my garden, just keep an eye on the sidebar. I'm listing seeds as they are ripe. It takes about 2 weeks to properly dry most, but I'll be glad to send you some.
It's a finch. I have the yellow ones here too. They love to pick apart flowers like zinnias.
Male and Female goldfinch, they are so lovely!!
We had a Datura years ago 'angel trumpet' they are gorgeous, magical plants!! Our plant was a potted houseplant we had kept it outside in the summer in its pot and it re-seeded itself into the ground outdoors what a pleasant surprise the next summer!
