I've seen and have been told about several large flocks of goldfinches in the 
last week. I had probably 20 in one flock at my house, eating dandelion seed 
heads. I saw another flock of 20-30 along the road near my house too. A friend 
told me this weekend he had probably 40 in his yard doing the same.
