I'm really excited. I just had a male and female bluebird visit my birdbath:) I read in my bird book that bluebirds like bird baths. I was surprised, I would have thought that would have left in the winter, I've never noticed seeing them in the winter.

I have tons of goldfinch. They are so different from the chickadees, and titmouse's. The chickadees, and titmouse take a bite and leave, the goldfinch sit there and eat and eat and eat:). They're the smallest bird, but will chase the others away from the feeders.

I still have bluebirds around also...and yes, they DO love the birdbath. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen any other birds so throroughly enjoy their baths as the bluebirds do.

You are so right about how much the finches eat. They go through these feeding frenzies in spring and fall, and man do they ever consume a lot of finch food!
