Goings on about the yard

American Goldfinches finally eating from thistle feeder.

I used to have several pairs that fed from the feeder all year round.  I moved the feeder several years ago so I could have a better view from the house.  They were not happy and left the yard.  

After many moves, I must have found a spot they like.

Buck on his almost daily stroll through the back yard.

This morning he decided to nibble on my roses.  That would not do.  I stepped outside to scold him.  He listened politely for a minute then proceeded on his way across the yard.

The last full moon was called a Buck Moon.
