Our adorable goldfinchies have been visiting our bird feeder lately, and now that fall has arrived, they've started munching on the seeds of the 5'-tall evening primrose (Oenothera biennis). :) The seeds are extremely tiny, but so are the finchies, who can fit through the spaces of the chicken wire. They already eat these seeds since primrose is a native Michigan species. And Stevie loves the flowers and leaves from it too!!

This photo's from almost 2 weeks ago, but I finally had some time to share it! The bird is just above the diagonal chain. He was hard to get a picture of!
