Birds in my Garden

This year I planted some sunflowers (the giant ones) and

I had quite a few volunteers from last year. They were

a smaller, earlier variety.

Saturday morning I had quite a few new visitors.

I think the Phoebe was just waiting her turn, although she
spends a lot of time on the back of these chairs.

I also had quite a flock of goldfinches on the sunflowers.

The birds are the main reason for planting them. They attract

a whole different group of birds in the fall.
