Go for the Gold!!

Goldfinches, that is! These guys are getting more and more yellow everyday! And boy, can they eat!If you can, try putting out a Nyjer (thistle) feeder. Nyjer is a little black seed that finches just love and, best of all, most squirrels won't eat. The simplest feeder is a nyjer "sock". This is literally a mesh bag in black or white (we like the black!) that holds the seed. The number os different feeders available for this little seed is astounding!We had plenty of goldfinches at our feeders all winter, but some people feed only in the summer. They semi-migrate. That is to say, some will migrate to areas south of Philly, but again some stay year-round. Still others migrate here from points north, so you never know what you're gonna get!Try some nyjer today and see what happens.
