I put out sunflower and safflower seeds and it shows no interest in that. But I think the reason it comes so close to the house is that we have a lot of grass seed that never took near the base of the house (brand new house, brand new landscaping). I guess that would explain its disappearance after the snow, and its reappearance now that the snow is melting. And I just figured that out as I was typing this! :) Does that sound logical to anyone else? Now I'm going to have to get a Finch feeder to keep it around.
