Tracey: Believe it or not, I saw two male yellow finches (common yellow canary) working over some buds on my trumpets. They had ripped some open--must be looking for seeds, I guess. And they had clipped the stem of the top three and four buds completely off two others--Red Alerts. Those little beaks must be awfully powerfull but--I saw it! Kinda got me worried, but they haven't been back--that was two days ago.
Moby side note: Watched your storm come thru on radar last evening; you're lucky you didn't get hail! Send some of that rain our way--Tracey and I need it!
