Same! I came here to say that our local goldfinches love the coneflower seeds so much they’ve spread them in numerous places around our property (a bit south of Madison).

Great advice, thanks! These photos were all taken yesterday in my yard near Madison, Wisconsin.

Agreed! Regular Lay’s or whatever just taste like salt and grease. Baked Lay’s actually taste like potato to me. How do you rate Veggies Straws and equivalent? (I also far prefer them)

I was fortunate to see this cool hummingbird moth feed on the monarda (bee balm) directly in front of me yesterday. So plump yet agile!

Thanks for posting these! I just browsed your entire website and think your paintings and talent are extraordinary. “Dead Golden King” made me shiver.

So there *are* others who mourn wildlife killed by vehicles! ❤️ You sure can’t tell from the state of the roadsides. It’s astonishing how many are dead. Who’s hitting all these animals?? I’ve been driving rural roads for nearly 30 years and only hit one - on a sharp curve at night as a teen.

These two goofy goats are mother and son. I took a few pics in a row and didn’t realize her tongue was out in this one until I looked at the pictures later. I hope your day improved!
