Looking out my window today, I am so thrilled to see the goldfinches on our finch feeder.
I so love to watch the goldfinches and have been feeding them for years. Even though we have moved three times since 2004, I faithfully feed them and use nyjer seed in the feeder.

The underside down finch feeds are the ones I usually use. But I haven't found those feeders since we moved to Kentucky. Take a look at this next picture and notice the white markings on the goldfinch. See the black forehead, black wings and white markings, plus the white patches both above and beneath the tail.
These guys certainly made my day today.
Thanks for stopping by for another day of Life in Kentucky - Judy.

They are so pretty. I love watching the birds. We have a very large house bird feeder. It's amazing to see how many different birds visit.
ReplyDeleteI love watching the goldfinches. They'll be leaving us soon and traveling to their breeding areas north of us.
ReplyDeleteJudy, we don't see goldfinches all the time here. I've seen several at a time when they were at the feeders and I thought maybe they were migrating. Does nyger seed germinate and grow all in the yard? We usually just use sunflower seeds because they are so much easier to pull out of the yard.
ReplyDeleteWe'd love it if you'd join us at Thoughts of Home on Thursday. :)
They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful goldfinches!
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous pics of the the little goldfinch Judy. We use to get what I think are these birds but haven’t seen them in years. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteJudy, I think it is great you have visited all fifty states! My husband and I would love to do that and we are slowly progressing. I seem to love to return to places I fall in love with rather than new places. Also, have to mention again how much I love how your kitchen looks, you and I must have very similar taste, love your hutch.
ReplyDeleteHappy Day……….
These are beautiful little birds
ReplyDeleteAlways glad to find a new blogger from Ky. We have goldfinches too and they seem to get more yellow as the warm weather returns. We use sunflower seed and sometime can hardly count all the birds in just the two feeders we have. Looking forward to visiting again.
ReplyDeleteI've just started using a bird feeder. So far all I've seen is a Song Sparrow. Hopefully spring will bring more visitors. - Margy
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty! We just put up a bird feeder a few weeks ago and I am really enjoying watching the birds everyday.
ReplyDeleteI can see why these cute guys make your day. They'd make mine, too. I like their chartreuse coloring. I also like your yellow feeder. Has me wanting a feeder that color, too.

Hi Judy..I do love these little birds and they are so cheery sounding.. I have some upsidedown thistle feeders too. I think that Duncraft and Amazon would have them...Michelle
