Bird eating seeds from our Ravenna grass

We had a few birds eating the seeds from the stalk of ravenna grass just outside our window today.

They were kinda cute.

And they were busy enough that even though they noticed us moving on the other side of the window, they kept eating and putting on a show.

I’m not great at identifying birds, but according to Merlin, they’re probably dark-eyed juncoes and clay-colored sparrows.

I just know they were cute #birbs and we had fun watching them.

This morning, I noticed a flock of lesser goldfinches grabbing seeds from our black eyed susans and Mexican sunflowers.

They’re cute little #birbs, and it was fun watching them, mostly because they’re just heavy enough that when they land on the plant next to a flower, the stem bends down, and they end up hanging upside down trying to get their lunch.
