“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

I’m glad the birds helped. They always make my day better too.
I think the birds here are going into eating overdrive. They know winter is coming.
I can’t keep my thistle sock full either Father. The Goldfinches are really going to it!
Father: Are you going to feed them over the winter?
Cathy: If the donations come I will feed them when I am here and ask others to watch them when I am not.
Father, I am seeing lots of goldfinches this year too, in a feeding frenzy, demolishing the black oil seed every few days. But I never knew that grape jelly would be an attraction! Where did you find the neat orange (and jelly) holder that you use? I can’t find one at Agway or in our local lawn / feed stores. I love watching my birds, and I enjoy the squirrels too, baffled as they are. Once in a while nature steps in however; I saw a small woodpecker nabbed right off the feeder by a hawk, and last week a fox caught one of the squirrels. Prayers to St. Francis for all God’s creatures.
“Refreshment of soul” is a good description, Father! We have said so often that the pictures of these beautiful creatures make us smile. I’m no expert at all, but what I have seen here in So.Cal. must be an Oriole. The coloring is gorgeous. I have seen a nest and it is a work of art – a beautiful basket shape.
Speaking of feeders, in Saturday’s Irish Times “Eye on nature” column (where readers send in observations and questions) a reader sent in the following: “A grey squirrel, which visits my bird feeders regularly, has removed one of them and wedged it in an angle of the branches higher up the tree”
I enjoy your pictures so very much. Keep up the good work.
