The grass under our feeders just boils with goldfinches this time of year. We must have had 35-40 each day over the weekend. Juncos and a few white throated sparrows scratch around down there too. 3 male and 2 female purple finch have been visiting off and on for the past month.

I'm waiting for a siskin or purple...still waiting. Haven't heard much from folks here in Lexington about much else coming to the feeders. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
