I had an interesting bit of behavior in American Goldfinch on June 26 at GWCNM. Four of them were feeding on webworms in a cherry tree. I have not observed this activity in goldfinch before and have not read it in the literature either that I recall. The activity attracted an American Robin, two Northern Cardinal and a pair of Baltimore Orioles. Fun ! Larry H.
