Hi Folks, A male European Goldfinch was observed yesterday (October 26, 2003) feeding on nyger seed in amongst numerous American Goldfinch, at two nearby residences (122 Princess Cr. and 39 Pleasant Dr.) in Sault Ste. Marie.
Just a note, to those tracking finch, grosbeak and crossbill movements...Common Redpoll and Pine Grosbeak are showing up in the Sault area after a long absence and good numbers of American Goldfinch, Pine Siskin and Evening Grosbeak are regularly being observed. Purple Finch, Red Crossbill and White-winged Crossbill are around but are being observed less regularly and in smaller numbers. In the last two weeks Lapland Longspur, Water Pipit and Horned Lark numbers diminished significantly. Snow Bunting, on the other hand, have been observed in large numbers all across Algoma.
