Hi all... I had two male goldfinches yesterday (Friday) at my thistle tube feeder... both are just starting to get bright yellow... kinda blotchy still... but distinctive... no females in sight (these were the first I have seen since about November, when they all took off and left my neighborhood). Are they early? Where are the girls?

Also, I have had Slate colored (dark brown with black head) Juncos in my yard and at my feeders for about ten days... is that unusual?
