It took eight days for the first goldfinch to come to my thistle feeder. I was not able to identify the sex of it. In the winter they are drab looking but the male will get its bright yellow in the early spring. The goldfinch, sometimes, will position itself for five minutes feeding at the same spot. Sometimes in the spring hordes of goldfinch come some feeding on the thistle spilled on the ground. Let us see if more come.
