Birds and Feeders

We got a new finch feeder and it is really different to us, anyway. It is a mesh bag about a foot long with a pull-tie string at the top. It stretches out as you fill it with thistle seed and you can put it on a suction cup hanger on your window or on a tall shepherd hook. We have dozens of Goldfinch this year and they just love it. We can tell they are bringing their babies to it too as it is very funny to see them try to figure out how to eat out of the regular finch feeders. But they can just fly up to the bag and hook their little claws into the bag and eat through the mesh. We have counted as many as 13 Goldfinch eating at a time. It is a beautiful sight.
