Stono, your goldfinches are all down here along with robins, flocks and flocks of robins, never seen so many at one time.
Anyone else have bird feeders?
Thanks, y'all. I was so happy to see them, I had trouble holding the camera still. ;)

Meant to post here sooner.
I have a suet feeder and a tube feeder. The tube has the big cage to keep out squirrels, but since we don't have many if any squirrels here, it's to keep the crows, grackles and other big birds out.
We get a lot of Nuthatches and Caroliona Chickadees. The chickadees hang out in the big pampass grass close to the feeder and fuss if we don't keep it filled.
At first doves would feed at the ground on what the other birds dropped. Now it's mostly pidgeons.

I have sunflower seed feeder, "thistle" feeder, and
glop that I cook called "blue bird food", but bluebirds
only came to it one winter. Made of cornmeal, oil,
and peanut butter. Many different kinds of birds come
to the glop.
The bird that I don't care for is the house wren. It arrives
after the blue bird is nesting, and throws the blue bird out.
So the blue bird nested in the martin condo, and the wren
threw it out of that!
I think the size of the blue bird house hole is to keep some
birds from evicting the blue bird, but that doesn't help with
this wretched wren - it is tiny.
The house wren is quite different from the Carolina wren.
The Carolina wren stays year round and these nights it is
sleeping in its nest on my porch. (I wonder if several, or just
one, are/is in that nest). They love the glop.
How charming about alrac's tame robins!
My goldfinches are not yellow yet.
