Stomachs With Wings

It's always a special time when the American Goldfinches come for an extended visit.  Was that sarcasm? Well, yes, mostly.  These dear little gluttons are doing a number on the sunflower seed supply and are packing away something like two pounds of seed a day, if my calculations are correct.  These are certainly attractive birds, in terms of plumage.  But my heavens do they eat!  At least they don't tend to hang around year-round.  That would bankrupt us (just kidding)  However, we do try to treat all comers as valuable guests and I will refrain from scolding them too much.  They're goldfinches, after all. Truly stomachs with wings!
