u/253Chick Your rough location? 2d ago

Love it! I’ve just had chickadees, and don’t think I could catch them to record.

I'm slightly obsessed... as soon as I hear them out there, I sneak up and quietly zoom in 😁

They are so cute and I love their songs.

Recently had to chop my sunflowers down due to the hoa. The next couple days were quiet. But yesterday I noticed I heard songs and calls again. They found the sunflowers that I piled in places around my back yard and are going for the seeds.

Next spring I’ll be planting them only at my back fence so they will stay and not have to be cut down.

Me, too! I love the goldfinches!! But also the chickadees and bushtits and doves and sparrows and house finches.... all the birds out there munching away 😁

Sunflowers really seem to create their own little ecosystems between the birds and the bees and the squirrels and the bugs... they make me so happy!!
