Thank you, venusflytrap2000! LuckyLogan-American Goldfinch in particular but I believe I also saw Purple Finch and House Finch on them as well. :-)
I have heard that birds use them as a food source. Never seen it happen before though.
LuckyLogan-Thank you sooo much!!! :-) Yes. I've taken photos of Swallowtails on them as well as Monarchs and another unknown butterfly over the years. Finches seem to love their seeds as well.
