Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

I am prepared for the goldfinch. I bought five pounds of thistle for my feeder.  Now I sometimes get three or four goldfinch at one time.  For a long time I did not get any. From my observation in early spring the goldfinch come to my feeder in flocks. In the past I have counted as many as twenty at one time. That, of course includes the ones feeding on the ground on the thistle that falls there.  Often the goldfinch will remain at the feeder for five minutes or more.  Before I know it the the males will turn golden again.  That always amazes me.
