Yes! I did. It arrived Saturday. The nesting material looks the same as what you posted. Our rain barrels are filled up again. We were empty. My husband is looking to get some that are on clearance at Menards- something to put by the backdoor where we don't have any yet.
I planted coneflowers, cardinal flowers and black-eyed susans. The coneflowers didn't make it, but the others are doing well. Are there any birds who eat black-eyed susans?

Linth, your photos are amazing!

Hack, do you feed Jays? Have you ever seen them go to a feeder like your new one? Our woodpeckers and nuthatch will go to the mesh type feeders, but the Jays (and Thrashers) only go to the platform. It's been nuts (haha) with the grackles and starlings showing up again, but I don't know what to do to keep them away.

This is an older picture taken by my little photographer. It's not great, but he's always thought this one hysterical. The Dove comes in for a landing and the Goldfinch pops off.
