For the past week, I have noticed "begging" juvenile American Goldfinches
among the flocks at my feeders. None of these young ones were being paid
attention to, until today. I witnessed an adult female feeding two begging
(with wing flutter) juveniles. She would go to the feeder for about 3-5
minutes, and then return to where the juveniles were perched in nearby
trees and feed them alternately. American Goldfinches are among our latest
breeding birds and do not start nesting in this area (Antigonish County)
until the last week of June. The date of these observations is September
12.
