[birding] Where are the goldfinches?

[Jeff Fleischer]

Hi Everyone,

Just to add to this, I usually feed around 30 to 50 Lesser Goldfinches around this time of year.  I have had no more than a dozen and no American Goldfinches.  I guess that saves on the food bill but I would rather be feeding birds :)
