I have seen on the migration map that they do not nest here, but they have been here for more than 2 weeks! I am hoping they stay here! |

The males arrived first then the females about two weeks later. They ate thistle and sunflower seeds. Living in Indiana, I presumed they moved north because I haven't seen them since late April. They were abit aggressive, chasing off the finches from the feeders. But I enjoyed watching them and I hope they stop back again. |
