Hello, At my thistle feeder today were 5 birds that I thought might be female
goldfinches but I am not sure. They are olive green whith striping on their
wings and some yellow on their neck area. I have seen them before during the
summer with the yellow and black goldfinches and always thought they were
females but the pics I am seeing online don't look the same as what I am
seeing at the feeder. I tried to get a picture but as soon as they heard me
open the window they flew away. I will try again if they come back with the
window closed. If they are female goldfinches then where are the males?
Had lots of activity at the feeders today.
2 mourning doves, 6 blue jays, a male and female hairy woodpecker, about 8
or more black-capped chickadees, the 5 mystery birds and a big fat gray
squirrel. I heard a tufted titmouse but didn't see it.
Any thoughts about these olive green birds would be welcome.
Thank you Anne
