I just put my finch sock out late Sunday evening. All your talk about birds flyin' about got me going. My finchies found us by Tuesday afternoon upon my return home from work. I am thrilled. The pic attached only shows a coupl'a little guys, but yesterday afternoon the place was surrounded by easily 20 or more. The were chirping and trilling and rough housing all about.

So, not intending to squish your thread, SW, I just wanted to show you my little kiddles. Not sure when to expect our Hummers to return. I don't feed them because I've never been able to keep my various feeders from leaking out sugared water onto the ground, thus inviting ants into the fold along with the hummers. I just don't need ants running about. If someone can tell me how to insure that my feeders don't leak sugar water I'll put those feeders back up in a heartbeat. They are so very cute and sweet.
