The seed feeders have been empty for most of a week (in an effort to discourage grackles) and it may be that my imagination is running away with me. Case in point: the House Finches, or at least one particular male, is making more noise than usual. The bird, when I observe, flies about the front of the house making an astonishing flapping sound. And then it will stop, seemingly looking at me, and chirping a bit. It's almost as if the bird is demanding that I refill. Of course, this one is not necessarily an obnoxious sorehead. But it is an interesting behavior I have not seen and the brain tries to explain it. But if the bird is protesting, it won't work! I'm not done with my purge. So wait a few more days, finch!
