Hi Carolinabirders,
Had some goldfinches (3) this morning they feed on the sunflower seed from
the lip of a shallow clay pot and then one of them went to my Bradford
Pear and began feeding on the tender buds (shoots) at the branch tips. I
looked it up in the Birders Handbook and found that indeed they eat floral
buds.
I thought this fact interesting.
