I noticed a Goldfinch on one of the dish feeders for the first time today. Obviously unadventurous, slow learners! They also feed from the ground below the niger feeder, so feeding on the ground per se not inimical to them, but they seem disinclined to forage or experiment. Thoroughly conservative in fact; they “know what they like and like what they know”. But they are pretty.
