Some years the goldfinches seem to only stay for a few days and then they are gone again. This year, however, they have been at my feeders for at least 3 weeks!
I have a few pairs of finches in my yard. Maybe I will be lucky this year and they will nest somewhere in the area. I understand that they delay nesting until June to ensure they are located somewhere with a dependable food source.
American goldfinches love nyjer seed and sunflower seed. They enjoy our Mother Nature's Finch Mix immensely and I am having trouble keeping my feeders stocked right now. Such a pity I have to work for a living, I should just be spending my days filling bird feeders and bird watching!
Goldfinches are so beautiful. Here in Michigan we have also had a lot of Goldfinches this time of year eating all our Black Oil Sunflower Seed from our feeders. Recently I posted my findings of Goldfinches from our backyard on my blog at http://www.backyardbirdparadise.com/home.html

My kid always loves when birds are at our backyard. You give me an idea on what to put to to keep them at our yards. I wonder if still available at Amazon.
