Cute pics, Chilly! Watching the babies learn to eat is a lot of fun.

I have a suet cage filled with nesting fluff right by one of the nyger feeders since the Goldfinches are the only ones using it right now. I get a kick out of the babies pulling on the fluff and trying to eat it. Eventually they realize it's not food. All part of the learning process. :o)

Here's another baby Goldfinch (surprisingly calm for a moment) and a couple of male Hummers. Hummer activity has been increasing recently with both males and females zipping around.
