We never saw a Goldfinch in Houston until about 5 or 6 years ago. We noticed these small greenish gray birds eating at our black oil feeder and finally identified them. We have had sock feeders ever since and some years had more than 50 birds in our yard at a time. By the time they leave a couple of them will have all their yellow feathers.

"some years had more than 50 birds in our yard at a time."

That's the way my yard was a couple of weeks ago. They seem to have thinned out some now, but I've had them summer and winter since I've started using the thistle feeders.
