That's interesting, Pam. Our goldfinches don't go South. They're here all
winter, but
the males lose their brilliant color in the fall and spend the winter looking
like their drab
mates. One of the first signs of spring here is when the males begin to have
a few
bright feathers. They look pretty patchy for a few weeks before they're all
golden
again.

feed them here in the winter to get them fattened up for their trip
North so they can do their summer breeding. I don't get to see them in
their pretty summer color though unless I go up to Jesse's.
