how nice for you - in my part of Canada (near Toronto) we have them in large
numbers all summer long. I recommend you buy niger seeds for them and you
will get many more. J.

We were visited by a goldfinch earlier this year but haven't seen one
since. They're our state bird but, alas, are getting awfully close to
extinct west of the Cascades, so to have such a visitor is a rare treat,
though as a child I remember spotting them all the time.
