For lack of a more precise number, I have to say I still have oodles of Goldfinches at the feeders.
They seem especially enamored of the nyjer thistle seed.
Though they are no longer the pretty colorful birds birds of spring-time, their chirping and singing is still a bright and merry sound.
Late Friday afternoon as I was sitting at my computer, I looked out the window to see this bird alight high atop a Douglas Fir tree.
A heron! Unlike in England, that's a sight I've not seen since my return home.

I've not seen a heron in a tree before - wow. You have great eyes. The first photo I didn't recognize the heron. Cool! Happy Sunday to you:) love Annette
I see herons in trees. But never in a pine tree before. How different.
Wow! A heron up in a tree! Pretty cool! We've seen herons on our lake, but I've never seen one in a tree. lol!
That heron up there is so neat! I see them perched in trees sometimes around where I am, but it's usually the lower trees that are close to a swampy/marshy area, not really hanging out in the tall pines.
What a cool place to spot a heron. We usually see them in the water. I am thinking I might put up a feeder to attract the goldfinches this winter.
wowwwwwwwwww so sweet x
I've seen heron along the creek banks, but not in a tree. Our Goldfinches have lost their gold color too.
I, too, have never seen a Heron up in a tall pine tree or any tree for that matter... Stream, creeks, and rivers.. but no trees! Love all those goldfinches on your thistle socks!
