" a pair of house finches feeding on the seeds of Lyre Leaf Sage"
I looked for seeds or plants and so far have not found any close by. I will keep an eye out for that plant and hope to attract more house finches. I used to have many, almost all of them are gone. I supply plenty of bird plants, feeding stations, however, the varieties of birds dwindle each year. I have photos of 20 years ago and even had tit mouse ... no more.

Another bad Government Study...
They found about 200 dead crows on the highway between Chatham and Palmerston , Ontario , and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu.
The Ontario Government had a bird pathologist examine the remains of all the crows and he confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu, much to everyone’s relief. Console" size="4"">
However, he determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, and only 2% were killed by car impact. (Didn't know there was a difference!) Console" size="4"">
The Province then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine the disproportionate percentages for truck versus car kills. Console" size="4"">
The Ornithological Behaviourist determined the cause in short order. When crows eat road kill, they always set-up a lookoutcrow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger. Console" size="4"">
His conclusion was that the lookout crow could say “Cah”but could not say “Truck”.I just wanted to make sure that you knew that your tax dollars were being wisely spent.

With all these absolutely gorgeous colors of birds, it just goes to show that no matter what humans can do with art, nature already has it beat!
