Hello Tweeters,
On a earlier time the question was raised that some birder including me
rarely getting this species on a regular basis.This birds came this morning
around 10.00 Am and stayed to about 3.00 PM,some went on my distal feeder
the others went on the big feeder who got a guard around the feeders mix
Sunflower seeds part being with shell and the other are unshelled sunflower
seeds.Only four Goldfinches went on the distal feeder (the feeder is bright
yellow)This bird is not are regular in my yard,and I can not figure out how
you attract this species year long,this is a mystery,since my yard is full
of birds.This Goldfinches did not went on to the suet.

Cheers Ruth Sullivan
