A couple of days ago we saw a pair of goldfinches flitting about our birch tree beside the lagoon, and we immediately put out our feeders filled with niger seed. They took no heed that afternoon, but by the next day they settled in and fed happily in spite of the construction noise next door.
Hopefully these are advanced “scouts” returning from their winter havens and if so we expect many more of these beautiful birds in the coming weeks.
Expect more photos…
