Description
The sunflowers at the Museum Park are past peak. The goldfinches still visit which allowed this shot in the morning light. Taken at the park which is located on the grounds of the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, North Carolina.
American goldfinches are granivores. They eat a variety of seeds from trees and annual plants. The birds favor black thistle and other seeds from plants in the Asteraceae family, such as asters and sunflowers. They also forage from elm, birch, alder, and northern white-cedar trees.
American goldfinches will eat sunflower seeds. Next to the thistle, sunflowers are one of the birds' favorite food sources. They are drawn to whole black oil sunflower by itself or hulled sunflower seeds in a mix
