Goldfinches? Or juvenile something else? (1 Viewer)

[aspadora]

Hello!

Last year I posted what turned out to be a greenfinch at my feeder. This year I can’t decide whether what I’m seeing is 2 juvenile greenfinches or goldfinches, or something else entirely?

I’ve also attached a video of the greenfinch who has returned (I think!)

Ahh thank you! I’ve never even heard of a Siskin, so thanks for educating me in another type 😂

I'm guessing (as siskin would be just a page or 3 away from greenfinch and goldfinch) that you don't have a field guide? - and I'm sure you would benefit enormously from one - it's totally far and away the best way to learn bird ID - in my opinion.

I haven’t haha. I’m not really an enthusiast, so to speak, but have a passing interest 😊 I’ll look at getting a field guide though, will save us all some time and effort haha!
