I had a big group of finches eating crab apples and sunflower seeds this weekend. I've never had that many before. I looked and looked at two birds hoping they were pine siskins who sometimes socialize with finches. No matter how long I stared and consulted my bird identification books, they were still female house finches, not pine siskins.
I did get one big satisfying moment though as I watch a squirrel try 10 consecutive times to get on my bird feeder without success. I added a dome to the top of the wide pvc pipe. The squirrel would climb up halfway, see the dome, and angrily push off the pipe sending himself flying to the side a couple yards away. The squirrel was trying really hard though. I think he is going to figure it out.
