Episode 20: American Goldfinch – Voice of the Wild
American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis).
The American goldfinch’s jumbled song is a staple of warm mornings and hot summer afternoons. In the cold months they visit hanging finch feeders, the drooping heads of last year’s sunflowers, and sometimes join in with Pine siskins foraging in sycamore and sweetgum trees. Listen for their “perchicory” or “potato chip” flight call as you go about your day!
