| On the lake itself, we mainly saw the same woodpeckers, gulls, goldfinch, robins, waxwings, juncos, and other common birds spotted last year. |
| The chaffinch, greenfinch, and goldfinch are with us all the year round, keeping each to his favourite haunts. |
| The Gothic towers are crowned by golden crosses, and a goldfinch in the marginalia perches upon the cross on the entrance tower. |
| The short and very conical beak of the goldfinch is typical for north American seed eaters. |
| The average length of the goldfinch is 11 cm, i.e. about the same size as a sparrow. |
| Oh yes, we have nyjer seeds to attract goldfinch, sunflower hearts for siskin and pinched oatmeal for finches. |
