You have captured some splendid photos for this round. They are so vivid. I fill one of our feeders with thistle, but I've never heard of safflower.
During the warmer months, the Gold Finches show up in droves, and the feeder needs to be filled every third day.
The thistle seed can get very pricy and I was wondering if the safflower seed maybe a little less expensive?
Thank you very much @thebigsweed!! The Finches should show up here in Spring and I can hardly wait! Now that you mention them then I should probably keep the thistle in the one feeder. The Sparrows will eat it in between re-filling the other two. Safflower is a whitie-ish seed and the Cardinals love it as do the Sparrows, Chickadees and Titmouse. Woodpeckers will eat it too but they don't visit regularly. There are a lot of plants that have little berries on them still. Frozen over mostly but the birds still find them. 😊
