Re: Goldfinch feeding

Yes Pops they come every day now I think there is more on the ground that is in the feeders. I saw a Jay this morning first time I was hoping to get a shot through the conservatory but he noticed me and that was that. thanks for looking Regards John.

Re: Goldfinch feeding

Never really sure if its deliberate with goldfinches or not but the ones on the feeder do drop seeds for those on the ground to gather up.
I am quite sure the jay's do it, I have watched them for hours (have 4 visit daily)

Re: Goldfinch feeding

I think they're picky eaters dropping seeds that aren't big enough to eat. I've noticed finches, nuthatches and woodpeckers doing the same on our sunflower seed feeders in Ontario.

Re: Goldfinch feeding

Escallonia, those are some colorful goldfinches. What we call goldfinches here look like this male and female. Maybe we could do a trade off.

Re: Goldfinch feeding

They're only that colourful in the summer, this time of year American Goldfinches are drab yellow/greenish.
