Goldfinches feast in the sweetgum tree

The American goldfinch likes the sweetgum tree in our yard that I curse every time I step on one those dadgum seed balls.

Four or five birds chirped in for a feast.

Then they eyeballed the feeder.

Joined a a bird party.

And stopped for a drink.

  1. Great photos. I'm not seeing many goldfinches this year, or perhaps I just can't see them for all the darned house sparrows. We used to have a huge sweetgum tree in the vacant lot next to us. It was sad to see it go when the lot was cleared to be built on. It was home to many birds and squirrels. I'm with you on those darned seed balls though - they are painful!!
