I love seeing the birds in my yard, and I'm always trying to capture good photos of them. So, when I saw 3 or 4 pretty little finches in my irises, I grabbed the camera to get a shot of them.
I slowly crept around so as not to scare them away. Can you see the 3 finches? I was rather proud that I was able to snap a few photos before they flew away.
Once they flew away, I went to see what they were so interested in. Bugs in my flowers?
Upon closer inspection, I found this:
Duh. While I was snapping photos of these "cute" little birds, they were destroying the iris buds, pecking to get to the tender center. And to think I was carefully sneaking around to not scare them away while they were actually ruining the flowers! I guess the joke is on me. If it's not the deer, it's the finches!
I vote for the irises. They're beautiful.
ReplyDeleteoh, no how awful, finches are around a lot longer then the irises. I vote with Michelle for the irises.
ReplyDeleteThat middle photo has my vote! Pretty.

Wow, didn't know Goldfinches fancied flowers. But destroying Irises gets priveleges revoked. Save the blooms!
