american goldfinches storm the feeders

Rebecca caught these finches this morning at the feeders. The cold spell coming in last night brought in birds in a frenzy for food today. These are in their winter coats. Their favorite foods are thistle and teasel seeds. They also eat small seeds from other weeds, grasses and trees, tree buds, maple sap and sometimes insects.
