[CT Birds] Goldfinches

[Frank Mantlik]

Hi all.  Also here in Stratford, we have had varying
numbers of goldfinches at our feeders all winter, from
none to over 20.  Currently (the past 3 or 4 days,
we've been having a lot, ranging from 11 to 22, and
they''re visiting 2 thistle and one hulled sunflower
feeders.
