Sharing the Feeder

This is what a typical day at the thistle seed feeder looks like. We have "Petie" the one-eyed house finch (top left), a pine siskin (bottom left), and two goldfinches on the right.

Below are "Petie" and a goldfinch trying to stay warm in the Aspen tree.

American Goldfinch (winter plumage)

Now sort of drab-looking in their winter outfits, the goldfinches are still here every day, and getting less shy and more numerous. - Amy

They look kind of dull right now, but I know in the spring and summer they will be totally bright! - Kennedy

American Goldfinch (male and female)

I found out that I could attract goldfinches with thistle seed (Nyger), so I set up a feeder and didn't have to wait very long before they found it. We were sure excited to see something so bright yellow at our feeder!
