The Goldfinches at my feeders definitley prefer thistle to black oil. Have
8-10 now, and the losers of the perch wars end up on the sunflower feeder or
the ground under them.
Also have 2 male Purple Finches who are seen daily, and who only use the
black oil feeder, and have 2 female PFs at times too. They don't stay as
long at a feeding as the GFs do though.
Yesterday saw 2 Brown Creepers at the same time, about 30 feet apart, and the
Golden-crowned Kinglets have returned.
