Yesterday, we went to a local discount emporium and got a couple of new bird feeders to replace the aging ones. After putting them up in the yard, however, it seemed like the birds were leery of them. They preferred a feeder in another location which we did not replace.
Today, however, the birds seemed to figure out these were just as bountiful as the older ones and came in droves to feed. Here is a mated pair of House Finches enjoying the feast. He is the reddish orange guy on the right and she is on the left. Click the picture for a bigger view.
