Finch Babies

missed a few days.

purple finch mother brought her three teenagers to the feeder yesterday. they spent almost the entire time shouting and shivering their wings at her, begging to be fed. in the ten minutes they were at the feeder, only one of them ventured over and scrambled onto the actual feeder to try for a seed, and then only once mother had flown off. i like this shot for the frantic energy; this one, along with its siblings, was in hot pursuit of their mother through the apple bough on our porch.



harvested three luscious heads of lettuce yesterday for a weston price potluck, along with some garlic scapes.
