Goldfinches and Sunflowers

thistle20

From the September 2, 1851 entry in Henry David Thoreau's Journal:


"What affinity is it that brings the goldfinch to the sunflower - both yellow - to pick its seeds?...


Raise some sunflowers to attract the goldfinches, to feed them as well as your hens. What a broad and loaded, bounteously filled platter of food is presented this bon-vivant!"


Please send us your sunflower photos along with a narrative and location, etc.
