Goldfinches have become regular visitors to our home. They only started arriving about three years ago. I was very happy when I spotted one the other day, and slowly he brought all his family with him.
Even though I haven't been feeding them during the hot summer months when nature's food is plentiful and when bears, raccoons and foxes are out and about (no sightings of bears in the neighborhood this year so far), there is always refreshing water in the birdbath. The shower feature came with the kit and is solar powered. When the sun beats down, the water shoots up two feet or more. Not so much with the oncoming shade. I took the photos through the glass of the patio door. Our little friend didn't stay for long, but I was happy with a few photos.
