Lately I have been throwing sunflower seed on the patio for the cardinals and I have been surpised at the number of goldfinch that congregate there, even though I keep the large thistle seed feeder full most of the time. They move fast so it's hard to get an accurate count but between the feeder and the patio there must be more than 50. Most are shades of yellow green and brown but a few really do look gold.

Like this fellow.
