For the first time ever here, I have just witnessed American Goldfinches and House Finches feeding together. Check out this crappy shot through the kitchen screened in window.
Typically, the House Finches haven't shown up at the feeders until just after the Goldfinches take flight back home in the Spring. Then the House Finches flood in. However, the House Finch numbers have been increasing over the past couple of years and I know that they have bred here last year.
Must be here to stay. Fine by me. Glad to see them mingling together.
