It's not uncommon to hear customers state that they've "lost their goldfinches". Upon inquiry, we usually find that their seed is old. Hot weather spoils seed faster and the seed in the feeder may have been out for more than a few weeks or the main stash of seed may have been sitting in a storage bin in the heat or simply gotten old and stale. Once customers toss out the old seed and fill the feeder with fresh, the finches usually return.
The hot weather is coming, even though it doesn't seem like it. It's a great time to get a birdbath in place. Lots of babies coming in and you can attract birds that may not visit your feeders such as tanagers - they love to bathe and drink fresh water!
