There must have been 7 or 8 Gold Finches in the Aspen grove outside the living room window in the house where I'm staying. I'm not sure what they were feasting on. Wikipedia wasn't sure either, but another site said Gold Finches are commonly found in "fields, groves and thickets." Thicket---now that's a word I need to use more often. Almost as good as brambles.
