The Ups And Downs Of Birdwatching

On Friday November 23 at 3PM, I hung my thistle feeders at the D office located in Frankston, Texas. By 10AM on Saturday, I had 25 goldfinches. By happy hour I had close to 50. Did I have my camera? Nope. A few days ago I returned to find two almost-empty feeders and no finches. However I do have a loyal white-breasted nuthatch and a pine warbler hanging around the peanut gallery. At this moment, I have white-throated sparrows and dark-eyed juncos pecking across the lawn, but the huge flock of goldfinches has dwindled down to just three or four. Dang. Any Dallas sightings? I heard them high in the trees last week.
