Waitin'

Henri bought a finch feeder several days ago, and we now have it filled with thistle seed and hanging in the back yard. The only problem is no finches have yet discovered it. This situation reminds me of a similar one many years ago when I was teaching at DuQuoin (IL) High School. At all football and basketball events, before the teams came out the fans would cheer, “Waitin’, Waitin’, Waitin’ for the Indians.” Now, almost forty years later Henri and I are
"Waitin', Waitin’, Waitin’, for the Finches.” It seems like we're always “Waitin’” for something.

  1. As a finch friendly feeder myself it takes 3-4 days to draw them in. Once they find it they send the word out and many finches will enjoy it.
