I had some Goldfinches and some House Finches here in Norwich.. But not huge numbers.  I may not have put out enough of the right foods for them.  I am hearing a lot of singing from the GF now.. I wonder if they had a good enough food supply that they didn't have to rely on feeders so much?

John,


I had no pine siskins or redpolls, but a few goldfinches off and on.

Now that winter is (hopefully) behind us, I have a question. I had zero winter finches this feeder season. I understand that Redpoll appearances are cyclical, but I always have at least a few Pine Siskins and/or Goldfinches. I also noticed in other folks postings that there wasn't much mention of these birds. So I'm wondering, did other folks have a similar experience, or was it just me?
