I'm sure I feed at least 100 goldfinches daily! They do seem to come and go at
different times of the day, and are not usually the earliest visitors, they
seem to roost somewhere else and show up a bit later in the morning. I have
large numbers of house finches, too, and it seem fewer and fewer purple finches.

Clayton,
Thanks as always for the report.
Regarding American goldfinch, though I've not seen anything unusual myself, I
heard of a secondhand report by a non-birder that she saw "over one hundred"
goldfinch "flying up from someone's yard". I immediately dismissed this, but I
thought it interesting that you and others have noticed strangely large numbers
as well. The location was Brentwood (northern Williamson Co.).
Good birding,
Ed Schneider
