American Goldfinch Week

Monday, 17. November 2008, 23:14:53


I almost got this one!
This week will be American Goldfinch Week (Mon 17th - Sat 22nd)

Very windy today so I made some coffee, pulled up a chair, hid behind see-thru camo netting and waited for the birds.

I had to fight off the dog who was constantly trying to poke her head out the window. She spotted a squirrel in the other window and was running back and forth.

She discovered I had the window open and I am ready to squeeze the camera shutter...I notice this sniffing "nose" slowly approaching. :lol:
