Feed the Goldfinches!
American Goldfinches are late breeders, and may still be nesting or feeding their young in August. Did you know they feed their young an all-seed diet? Make sure you've got feeders available for them! We've got plenty of Nyjer, or "thistle", feeders to keep your goldfinches happy.

Identification notes are followed by brief entries on food, voice, drumming, habitat, status, distribution, geographic variation and confusion species. Each entry features at least two, usually three, high-quality photographs showing an adult male, an adult female and a juvenile. In all, more than 700 carefully selected images highlight identification criteria. Each species entry also contains an accurate range map.
