Isn't he sweet? This is a little goldfinch that comes to our feeders and sits in the trees singing sweet little songs. It's like having a little wild canary. 
We've been getting much pleasure out of our bird feeders and have been enjoying a flock of siskins, plus juncos and some chickadees. The rufous hummingbird swings by a couple times a day. All in all I think we're up to about 14 different kinds of birds, but the gold finch is one of my favourites. Here is a purple finch:

That's why we feed only seeds for the siskins and finches because then the seeds are very small. Squirrels can be outsmarted but they have a lot more time than I do!

Good idea with the small seeds. We've had a bunch of little birds come to the balcony at work and I was thinking putting a bird feeder out there for them. I'll just get the little seeds because the last thing we need are pigeons, crows and seagulls out there. Ew.
I love all your birdies.
