I have been feeding birds in my backyard for many years but I have never seen as many goldfinches (about 200) nor as frantic as this afternoon. I don't know if it's because of the sudden cold, windy weather or if it is just a fluke. A huge percentage of the group is female. I would love to hear any possible answers from more seasoned birders than me. Also, later this afternoon they started a frantic bathing experience with as many as 10 bathing at a time in the birdbath.
