It is funny
how some birds make a complete disappearance and then suddenly return in full force. The Goldfinches are a case of that. Now in less vibrant winter plumage, they come to feed on seed pods in the garden, check out bird baths for a sip or two and also go to feeders. I personally don’t feed thistle because I find it too messy but I also realized that Goldfinches LOVE shelled sunflower seeds. So much that one year, I picked them out of the mix because I wanted to get photos of other birds too 😆
