The house finch is standing firm on the top of the post. He had just been fluttered at by a baby bird.
The earlier photo shows the fluttering going on by a baby house finch. There is a time when the adults just stop feeding them and they see protesting from their fledglings.
At the same time a goldfinch is sharing the feeder with another young female house finch. I rarely see the goldfinch but I guess he really likes the shelled sunflower seeds.
I am thinking this is a white phlox but it is slow in putting out all the hundreds of flowers.
The phlox have really multiplied in my back cottage garden. It is a lot of color out there. I have to go out and right the birdbath as the racoon once again tries to get a drink of water. We have three pools in our neighbor's backyards. The statts say that two out of three pools are having parties today.
Thanks for stopping by today......

I only have pink phlox but the neighbor down the road with white phlox has them out by her mailbox and they are really quite full.
I don't know if the amount of sunlight makes a huge difference or not!
I love seeing the fledglings, they are so funny!
That first little finch is do damn cute
Hope you are doing okay Larry. Phlox can be picky about water and light!
