Bye, Bye, Birdie...384 views The summer has ended and soon it will be time for this handsome guy to head on south, or maybe not? Like some bird species, it’s becoming less uncommon for goldfinches to remain with us all winter, so long as the food supply is steady. Goldfinches love sunflowers, and as you can see, this one doesn’t care who’s watching him devour this glorious sunflower seed by beak-watering seed.
