Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is cloudy and chilly.

I fed the birds.  I haven't seen much activity today though.

I put out water for the birds.  

EDIT 12/11/25 -- It snowed quite a bit today.

the sock

I used to always put out a sock/sack of thistle/nyjer seeds for the finches. Then, last year, I didn't. I ran out of both seed and sock, and never got around to replacing them. This year, I had the sock, but didn't actually get any seed until after the snow fell. So it's been a week and a half, and nobody has touched it. Normally, the goldfinches love it, with the occasional house finch partaking. This year, I haven't seen a goldfinch in several weeks, and the house finches aren't touching it. I'm wondering if the goldfinches migrated away after finding no food.
