Wow! Birding update

For the first time ever, saw American goldfinches on my feeder.  Had thistle feeders there for several years and never saw one, gave up a couple years ago, but hit paydirt with this one.






And then a couple minutes later his girlfriend showed up.  Along with something else that I haven't been able to find in my Golden Field Guide.  Lots of red.  Not much of a picture here, but the next one is a bit better.


If anyone has any ideas ...

Thanks. Wish I could say I had something to do with it but ...

I started buying bird seed at a local birding store instead of the Ace Hardware so it would seem that the difference is in the mixture.

I also found out that the other is a house finch, red and gray.
