Co. yard doing his "styrofoam squeak" and then singing. This is my earliest ever by 5 days, and one i normally don't see until May. Much to my surprise, Sunday he showed up at the feeder arena, wondering what all the fuss was about. After eying up the Droll Yankee "Big Top" feeder for a while he sez, "Hey i could do that!" and flew right over and hung on the bottom just a comfortably as a goldfinch and started chowin' down. He is back again this a.m., apparently hooked. Not a bird i've ever seen at a feeder before. danny bystrak bristol, A.A.
