The male goldfinch’s bright yellow plumage and black cap pairs well with the vivid rosy-purple of the thistle. I really like the strong and happy color of this one! Thistle seed is a favorite food for goldfinch but not a favorite for farmers and gardeners. Nyjer seed is a similar size and birders use that in feeders instead. Goldfinch frequently come in large groups and are quite possessive about controlling the food supply. They will stay and stay at a feeder driving others away and chowing down. That bright and beautiful color is a welcome sign of spring!
