[Birdnet] Cache Valley Lesser Goldfinches

[Ryan O'Donnell]

Each day since Saturday I have had a flock of at least four LESSER
GOLDFINCHES coming the the thistle feeder in my back yard.  (Sorry for
the delay in posting - my email was down all last week and through the
weekend.)  I know that this species is relatively common elsewhere in
the state, but this far north we are near the edge of their range, and
they are considered "Occassional" (does not occur every year) in the
Bridgerland Audubon Society's printed checklist and apparently absent in
the online version (http://www.bridgerlandaudubon.org/checklist.htm).
Coincidentally, this is my 100th species in Cache County this year.
Here are two photos I've taken:

If you are interested in stopping by, send me an email.
 
Good birding,
Ryan
