Here they are stealing seeds again...the little cuties! they love the liatris and I think I will plant more next year...just for them. Of course I might have them coming up all over with the help of them spreading them.
 Here he looks pretty innocent....
 Almost there....
 Caught Him!!
 Seems to still be enjoying the seeds...
 Here he is saying, WHO ME? caught him though with a seed in his mouth...
 Here he is again, going to start all over again!
I love watching these beauties around my patio...

He is such a cute little thief caught in the act.

Great shots! Darn it...I just cut off my Liatris seed heads! I wish I had known how much the Goldfinches love them!

Netty...this fall, I have not cut down all the stems like I usually do and I notice more birds closer to the house. It sure isn't because I don't offer enough seed at the feeders. I am debating if I should leave them up all winter or not...it will then make more work for me in the spring and stepping on my tulips in the front beds....Sherry

Sherry, I leave my liatris heads on all winter. The chickadees are all over them even through the snow. I've never noticed goldfinches on them though. Those are lovely pics.
