As with many finches, the Goldfinch has a heavy bill designed for efficient seed-cracking. In the wild, their favorite food is thistle seed, and at the feeders, their preferences run to nyger and black-oil sunflower seed
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
