Funnily enough our Goldfinches all but vanished yesterday too, after a hard frost and early mornng snow - we've had around 40 coming to the feeders for several weeks, yesterday there was just one and that was at dusk. We're at 1,000metres asl so they have the option to go lower to escape the snow but I wonder where yours have gone?
Did get our first ever Alpine Accentor at a feeder though so a nice compensation:t:

I did see one goldfinch in tree behind garden , so probably still about, Alpine Accentor is some garden tick��

Had 3 Bullfinches yesterday and today, whilst just about to prep some Christmas chutneys, we had a visit from the Sprawk.

Have a great Christmas all.

Our two Carolina Wrens are daily visitors at our backyard bird feeders. They come to the Black Oil feeders, peanut feeders, suet feeders and pick around on the ground also for tidbits which have fallen from the raised feeders.
Other species which are usually seen are Red-bellied and Downy Woodpeckers, an occasional Hairy Woodpecker, Northern Cardinals, Bluejays, House Finches, House Sparrows, Dark-eyed Juncos, Black-capped Chickadees, White-breasted Nuthatches. Every now and again a European Starling drops in for a visit.

Hi Pam, good to see you back

 

[ClarkWGriswold]

Masses of birds in the garden at the moment due to the slightly colder weather. First Jay for a while appeared today.

A Pied Wagtail has also been around for the last few days, which is unusual for our garden.

Wife filmed this sparrowhawk today - not sure if it's a juvenille or why it was holding up it's right leg. Apparently it's "Go Vegan" week for Sparrowhawks 8-P

 

[ClarkWGriswold]

My 7 year old spotted the Sparrowhawk in the garden yesterday. Also regularly getting 2 GSW's on the feeder which the youngest has named Chompy and Pecky :-O

 

[ClarkWGriswold]

Male and female GSW regular in the garden at the moment.
