The house finch, as they have since we put out the feeder in January, eat breakfast with us every morning. We were very excited to notice that we've got a Juvenile male visiting us now who has lost almost all his fluffy feathers! He still has a few funny looking stragglers though :) He's also a little thinner than the two mature males who've been with us all year.

Our Hummingbird feeders have also been busy as they prepare to migrate south. We had four or five females outside yesterday, but today saw only two, so we think they're starting to leave for the season.

We have two hummingbird feeders. This tiny one (that holds about 1/4c) and a larger one with 4 feeders (that holds about 2c) but the birds seem to prefer the tiny one. We aren't sure if they like the feeder itself better, or if they like the fact that it's in the flower pot?
