I've had goldfinches around all summer, up to a dozen around the Fourth of
July week (when the Lesser Goldfinch was at my feeder), but this weekend was
REALLY busy in Duvall. Had 27 American Goldfinches (and two Pine Siskins) at
the same time on Sunday afternoon. Lots of juveniles (I think a second brood,
too), and of course the bright yellow males are dulling down fast now. Can
autumn be far off?
