I put a galvanized bucket by a shed this afternoon (2/10). It had a few sunflower seeds and a few oat grans in the bottom. The American Goldfinches found the bucket and began cleaning it out; which I thought was funny – they show no fear. I guessed they were starved and went to town to get more nijer seed and filled the feeders this afternoon. Not great photos had to grab the nearest camera:

I love that last photo. He looks like one of those little birds you buy at the craft store to stick on a project, all straight legs and looking like he’s glued to the side of the bucket!
