The first two species to dine at the feeders were goldfinches and chickadees, as shown above. Soon thereafter they were joined by house finches, tufted titmice, nuthatches, chipping sparrows, cardinals, and many others. Photographically speaking, I've been having quite a time of it, and in an attempt to avoid my usual confusion, this will be my base page for keeping a list of all my "feeder" photos.
