Wisest Elder Ever

We have quite a few yellow finches. They start to nest in late July when the flowers set seeds. They favor black eyed susans and Echinacea types. We also have purple finches, but I haven't seen them take the nesting fluff yet.
This morning we have a little female taking nesting materials. I have an inexpensive corn cob holder for winter for the squirrels. In spring I stop feeding them, and I put in nesting cotton fluff for the birds. I do this mostly for the hummingbirds, which hubby saw this morning taking the fluff as well. But other birds take it too. Oh my, she is back for a second load. She is really taking ALOT or it is another female. Big beak fulls. It is getting pretty decimated! . I'll have to put some more out! This is what it looks like: . WalMart and Lowe's typically have these too...they are so inexpensive. A friend gave me mine, and we really enjoy all the wildlife coming to it all year round! .
