Mellow Yellow Monday



The friends I visited recently in Montauk have
 installed birdfeeders near their deck.
Maybe it's because I'm a city girl (who can't stand 
pigeons), but I was a bit surprised to find that 
it's actually very entertaining to watch all 
the different species of birds that
come to visit (these are finches—and I love
the jaunty stance of the one on the right).

  3. I wonder if that guy on the right drove a cab in a former life. Of course, a yellow cab.

  4. Oh, how cute and almost symmetrical, too. I think they're what my mother used to call goldfinches; remember them from Penna.

  6. Yes, yes ... he is cool. What is more likely is that he has to stand like that as his balance is going with age! The colours are just great. I agree with you about pigeons ...

  8. It is wonderful to be able to sit outside and watch birds that are not pigeons!

  10. What a cute picture. The little finches are quite endearing with their yellow coloring and pert appearances.

  11. Great photo! Their markings make them look like they have cool shades on, which is why the one on the right is steppin' out :)
