I get about a dozen American Goldfinches on my upside-down thistle feeder every day near Brooklyn and Boat streets. I don't put the feeder out til they come by in early December and give me the heads-up. I've also got a good number of Anna's hummers coming to the round, plate-like feeder that hangs from a stick-on hook on the window. It's common to see a couple males and a female during the day, multiple times. A male is at the feeder right now, and I can see it stick its little tongue out after feeding; it's translucent!
