Nice shots. They showed up here in North Central Pennsylvania suddenly about two weeks ago, when the temp was in the 'teens.

Looks like nothing other than an outright invasion!
Nicely done and brings on feelings of nostalgia--of good ol' times!

Angky said it. It is an invasion! I am a big fan of finches. They are great birds to have around the yard.

Thanks for commenting. With ice on the ground and sunflower seeds in the feeder, they come in big numbers.

Thanks Angky. In this case it's more like an invitation to invade. Having feeders full in cold weather brings them in and word travels fast.

Thanks Todd. I also like finches and like to watch them at feeders. Gold Finches come in large groups and can be entertaining in their spats over food.

Hi,

I really smiled at the last shot with the tail in the air!

Regards,
Gordon.
