Resident Goldfinches

Saw 4 goldfinches on the cedar on Oakwood. 

American Goldfinches in Washington do migrate, though some populations are resident year-round, and migration can be irregular. The northern populations are the primary migrants, with some leaving Washington in winter, while other populations, particularly in the western part of the state, may stay through the winter and simply molt into duller, non-breeding plumage. Migration typically occurs in mid-fall and early spring
