Today at the feeders

Female and Male American Goldfinches (breeding plumage)
This is what our secret garden looks like at the moment. It becomes decidely more jungle-like as the season wears on. We live in the middle of a tri-plex, this space faces south so it gets lots of light and heat and then radiated heat from the brick later in the day. I'll try to remember to post a photo again next month. Right now there are shoots of Buddleia that are about 6 inches long - by the end of July they will stand about 6 feet tall. The little tree on the right grew from a stem of pussy willow planted about 9 years ago. Hmmmm, I really need to shape it up a bit...

  1. Perfect gathering spot for hungry birds. I have a feeder on my mother's condo deck, but without the foliage it doesn't attract many birds. - Margy
