It is always fun to see what birds I can attract to my yard during the different seasons. I have enjoyed watching cardinals, doves, woodpeckers, bluejays, finches and many more.
Goldfinches are always fun to watch.
They prefer a feeder with small slotted openings with niger seed or sunflower hearts. No one seems to know exactly why, but for many, this seems to be the case. So, as a general rule, fill your feeder regularly, and don't allow it to get to the empty stage. Another important tip to remember is to shake your feeder periodically. Moisture tends to get into the feeder, causing the seed to stick together.
