I was feeling adventurous

and put one of the hummer feeders on my photo setup. They are coming but I have not seen one yet and we got snow today. But oh well. I did get a Tufted Titmouse, which I haven’t seen in quite a bit.

What weird weather.

One day you want to walk around in a t-shirt outside, the next day it is snowing. But I guess that is April. Snow days always mean good traffic at the feeders too. While I have prepared the Oriole and Hummingbird feeders because there are reports that at least the latter are already in Michigan (journeynorth.org is a fine ressource for that), I have yet to see or hear any of the two. The Finches, however, are having the time of their lives right now. The House Finches are flirting, the Goldfinches are fighting, and in between, they sit down for a peaceful snack. I loved this House Finch, He is so wonderfully round.
