You can see the flutter of bird wings. Pablo the cat is annoyed with the birds at the feeder, says Jes who took this photograph and shared it with me .

Tuna Melt For My Lunch and Thistle Seed for the Goldfinch
Picked up Laura for lunch at the Brown Bag Deli in German Village, Columbus OH.
We had a glass bottle of 1/2 Tea 1/2 Lemonade, some Cape Cod Kettle Chips and a dill pickle on the side.
Tuna Melt reminds me of my friend Joanne and also my childhood. As I remember they were on an English Muffin half then.
Mark has to keep filling the Goldfinch feeder as they flock in and love to eat the nyjer/ thistle seed. It hangs in a birch tree in their backyard.
My mother’s parents, Charlotte and Judd Van Sickle, were real bird watchers and kept a life list of all the birds they saw. Cousin John still has the list and maybe I can get him to guest blog it sometime.
I thought of my grandparents as I watched the finches gather in to dine. Only one brave finch stayed to eat as I crept around with my 70-200 lens and camera. They were attuned to an intruder but this one stayed to eat anyway.
So my lunch and bird lunch on the blog today
My first shot as I approached the backyard feeder. The question is, how do the other finches know to come to this particular place to find the thistle seed?
What I Saw Out the Window at School
The cropped version and the original. You get a better feel for the place in the second, original, full size.
WILD turkeys but they seem fairly domesticated and brave ( or not too bright?). There are a lot of them in the area (remember my first day of school post with the family of turkeys on the sidewalk.)
Urban turkeys.
