Thanks for the pic, think I'll get some thistle seed and set one of these up in my back yard. Some of the neighbors have good luck with them so the birds will probably recognize a new one.
Thanks.
They are one of the most frequent visitors to my yard and I have them year round, although the numbers vary greatly. This past spring, I counted nearly 50 of them one morning before I lost count, and I was having to fill the feeders twice a day. They love the thistle seed, although at that time of year, they were eating everything in sight. Hint: they're not that brilliant color yellow in the late fall and winter. They lose that color to a kind of yellowish gray (just in case you didn't know that). They're a lot of fun to watch. You'll enjoy them.
