Today we  had 200 goldfinches at the feeders and on the gound, at one 
time. I don't  know if this is a large number for others, but it is our 
record. We also  had 3 creepers which is higher than normal. Our purple 
finches were down  to 9.

While I don't think I had anywhere near 200, I did have what was easily my  
highest number of goldfinches today also. I didn't really count but there were  
many more than I've ever seen at the feeders (maybe 60+). I threw out 
handfuls  of millet,black oil and cracked corn so the juncos could eat, and attracted 
a  small number of White-throated Sparrows as well, something I normally 
don't  get.
