My cherry tree, that is. I never see these guys in my yard at all. I have a thistle feeder hanging there just for them and up until now it’s been categorically ignored in favor of whatever it is everyone else in the neighborhood has going on.
Well, yesterday I had four of them hanging around in my tree. I don’t know where they came from. I don’t know where they went.

This one also eyed the thistle feeder from the top of the shepherd’s hook for a while but refused to strike a photogenic pose.
I had eight at one feeder today. They just started showing up this weekend.

Your goldfinches and trees are a couple of weeks ahead of ours. They’re still shedding their winter plumage and no blooms yet.
Hopefully the goldfinches stick around and you can get them at peak bloom! Good shots btw!
That shot is fantastic.
The cherry tree photo is awesome. Good job!
American Goldfinch in the Cherry Tree! Noice!
