The goldfinches disappeared from my feeder for a few days. It turns out that they are eating bugs in the trees instead. I saw at least two dozen land in this willow oak this morning. When that pollen falls, it's always full of nasty, biting bugs, so I'm assuming that's what they are eating. Not one finch went to my feeder.

This is a bad pic b/c it clouded over, but you'll see what I mean. There are parts of at least 4 goldfinches in the pic.
