The dinner bell just rang, it's 5 o'clock, time to chow down.
The sun is slowly sliding over the mountain creating the perfect shadows of these colorful Goldfinch.
They swoop in to perch on the feeder, politely waiting their turn
to grab a bite.
These little birds are a harmonious group, sharing the food over polite conversation about their day.
"Hey Millie, how are the kids doing? Oh you know Mac, same o same o, always getting into some mischief". "Oh yes, I know the feeling, just the other day, little Frankie got his head stuck in a woodpeckers hole in the tree just outside the nest, had to tug him out, that little bugger, keeps me busy".
"Sophie on the other hand, is so mellow and obedient, she will sit quietly and just admire her shadow, such a love."
"Some of the cousins stopped in to say hello, leaving their shadows behind, quite a lively crew, but always welcome here. Plenty of food to go around".
The day is done, everyone is fed and ready for bed. Quiet slowly descends upon the forest as the darkness creeps in and the moon rises.
This is my entry in this weeks "show me a shadow" contest with the theme of #SHADOWS OF THE BIRDS"
THE END.
Special thanks to @nelinoeva for being our gracious host, as well as our generous sponsor @melinda010100 and kudos to @oks2crypto for being an awesome judge. Thank you one and all.
Such a delightful post. Makes me smile how the finches chatter. 😀
And lovely shadow.
Hi there @nelinoeva, yes those birds were having quite a conversation. hehe.
Thank you for all you do for this wonderful community, I really appreciate your hard work and dedication.
You are a class act.
Aww, thank you @farm-mom. ❤
You are welcome. Hope you have a wonderful day @nelinoeva.
I love it! My goldfinches chatter away about the exact same stuff! These are fantastic bird shadows for this week's SMaP theme. ❤️
Yes, I thought this weeks theme was great, but challenging. I must say though, my eyes are really noticing shadows and reflections like never before @melinda010100.
Very cool stuff!
Hi there @farm-mom are you guys okay?
Haven't seen anything by the big guy and we hope that all is okay.
So little Frankie got his head stuck in a hole? Wonderful imagination that you have and a great post here.
Cheers and !LUV
Good day @papilloncharity, we are excellent. This time of year is so busy here on the farm, my hubby is going non-stop. Gardening and growing our own food takes lots of effort, but we are almost to the glide stage, once everything is planted and mulched, we just maintain. Then when harvest hits, it's busy bees once again.
Glad you liked my finchspeak, I can't help it, sometimes I just go off in my mind.🙄
Nice to hear from you, hope all is well.
Good morning my friend and glad that you guys are okay.
Oh yes, we have the same system here on the farms and the early winter rest period has now started.
Hahaha, that finchspeak certainly had me laughing and it's always a great thing to add humor in one's posts.
Stay well and hope that you guys will have a good Sunday.

Loved your goldfinch conversations.... :))
Hello there @goldenoakfarm, glad you liked the finchspeak. hehe
Just got back from a trip to New Jersey, did a little babysitting for my grand daughters. Great fun, but I am exhausted, a 1 and 3 y/o can keep you hopping.
Hope you are doing well and enjoying the Spring planting.
Not much spring planting lately as I spent the last week fixing fence. The hayman was due this weekend and I had to get the wire and downed trees cleaned up.
Oh the chores, never seem to have enough time @goldenoakfarm.
Good luck with farming.
