Cosmos and Goldfinch 大波斯菊與金翅雀
Outside of my front yard window, there are some goldfinches feeding on Cosmos seeds.
–The Goldfinch is a small North American bird in the finch family. It is migratory song bird. It feeds on seeds.
They are very shy. Cosmos are self-seeded annuals, I grow them for these birds to feed on.
前院窗外正在享受大波斯菊種子的金翅雀–
金翅雀是北美洲的一種雀。牠們是美洲候鳥,金翅雀是兩性異形的。雄雀分別於夏天及冬天呈黃色及橄欖色,金翅雀是吃種子的. 非常害羞怕人的鳥. 大波斯菊是會自行結子繁殖的一年生草花,我是特別為了引金翅雀來吃而種大波斯菊的.
I will plant Comos for them next year.. I know that I have seen them here in Oregon. I even put seed out for them but they showed no interest in it..
Of course they will pick fresh seeds over those seeds we bought for bird feeder… Planting cosmos is effortless, anyways! 🙂
stunning capture and amazing beautiful. How lucky to have all these special guests in your garden…..fantastic post and have a wonderful weekend, my friend.
Thank you, I am glad you like my post!
I may be the only person in Maine who doesn’t successfully grow cosmos so seeds have to do for the birds.
Perhaps your winter there is too cold? You can try to collect some seeds and sprinkle seeds in late spring and they will grow for sure. When seeds store in cold region the warm spell sometimes will trigger seeds to spout but then when it is cold again, they died.
Lovely pics, they are wonderful little birds, they also feed on the seeds of the Thistle plants here in Ireland.
Thank you! I enjoy these goldfinches around. They are so cute but shy. They sing nicely which is a bonus. 🙂
It is quite a treat to see those birds and the cosmos out your window.
Yes, it is indeed! 🙂
