January 31, 2024 January is the month of the pine siskin. Each morning, dozens of the tiny, streaked finches, along with a handful of lesser goldfinches and house finches, gather in the leafless elderberry tree and patiently await my arrival at the galvanized bin for their sunrise scattering of thistle seed.
Our “damaged” TEP wooden pole, currently occupied by Gila woodpeckers, was left in place at our request with a new larger metal pole installed next to it. TEP is replacing older compromised wooden poles with metal ones because it’s more cost effective in the long run. Perhaps APS might do the same? Good luck in your efforts!!!
Fingers crossed for your elf owls! You really should talk to a birdseed company about sponsoring your Substack I providing you with seed.
