House Finch Update
It does not take a long time to feed birds in the Piedmont before realizing that the predominant bird at our seed feeders is what I affectionately call the "Hollywood Finch": House Finch, that is. And these jokers stick to feeders like glue. Even when I've shut them down for weeks at a time, the Hollywoods show up within an hour. Despite the gluttony they provide a distinct calming feeling for me. I can take my usual "bird spot" and watch their doings - with chirpings and squabbles - for a long time. This summer has been no exception. There are plenty of finches. Hungry, amusing, and likely to be around for awhile. Thank heaven for small blessings!
