Summer is here

During the summer, goldfinches are a vibrant presence in gardens as they busily forage for food and nurture their young. Their striking yellow and black plumage shines brightly in the warm sunlight, making them a delightful sight against the lush greenery of a summer garden. This season is crucial for goldfinches as they raise their chicks, often seen flitting between plants and feeders. They are particularly fond of seeds, with sunflower hearts and nyjer seeds being favorites. Providing these in feeders specifically designed for finches can help support them during this active period. Additionally, natural seed sources like thistles and dandelions in the garden can attract goldfinches, offering a valuable and natural food supply.
