I haven't seen any migrants at the feeders. The flock of American goldfinches in our yard sing all day. The males are molting into their summer feathers. The females are not as brightly colored, but I think this very pale goldfinch may be leucistic. The downy woodpeckers are chasing each other around the yard and the house finches are numerous and colorful. #birds#birding#birdsofmastodon#birdphotography#nature#HoosierMast#goldfinches#woodpecker#housefinch#leucism
My new #woodworking#hobby is helping greatly to keep my mind off the dumpster fire chaos of each day. This Nesting Box is for #Goldfinches and is headed to a friend’s yard. I'm stoked to make these for my friends here in #Eugene - my tiny way of giving back to wild songbirds.
Fit and finish is solid to last for years, but the build is by no means high-end #carpentry. I’m not your guy to do that fine wainscoting install in your McMansion. But you CAN probably park your car on these boxes.
