A favorite subject in the garden are poppies & birds of all kinds. Makes a wonderful banner Casey! Of course I like bees and butterflies too. So keep them coming! Thumbs up

Great banner!
We have lots of goldfinch here as well; however, their focus is in the fall, on giant sunflowers -

I'm sure you have colorful beautiful birds in Chile too @Mutisia!

Thank you @joannakat and @Marilyn! For years I tried not to plant yellow flowers during the time the goldfinches were in the garden. I do like the idea they're flowers. Lovey dubby

@jmorth, maybe they start off the year in my poppy garden, and migrate to your garden for the sunflower feast in the fall! BTW, great pics!! Thank you for sharing!
