There is surely plenty for them here and now you can see why I can't run all over the place taking photos. I would be plum worn out!
They see me coming & they just fly off to another place -- I never stand a chance.
I also love when the red broom like plant's seeds ripen. The Goldfinches & other small seed eating birds love eating the seed. The plant stalks do not appear all that sturdy when you just look at them but they are sturdy enough to hold the weight of 7 Goldfinches b/c I have counted that many on one stalk.
The Rudbeckia has not yet begun to bloom nor have the coreopsis and I sowed about 9 lbs. of different wildflower seeds this past fall. it takes time for it all to come to fruition though. Probably the seeds I sowed last fall will really only get going good next spring so it's always like working a year behind - or is that a year ahead???? Whatever..... I'm working on it.
