The bold yellow color of the male American Goldfinch is a welcome sight in any summer garden. And the pleasing songs and high-pitched calls of all the finches truly bring your yard to life. You love these beloved birds, and you want to see them visiting your backyard or garden. Professional naturalist and award-winning author Stan Tekiela teaches you all that you need to know about finches, from crossbills to grosbeaks.
The handy book is divided into three main sections. First, you’ll learn all about finches: facts, range, habitat, songs, nests, and more. Up next, you’ll be introduced to the seeds and other foods—such as grains and mixes—that keep finches coming back. In the third section, Stan tells you which feeders finches prefer and why. You’ll also be given information on placing feeders, cleaning feeders, and protecting finches.
Find out how to make your yard into a habitat that finches will love. Then enjoy Stan’s finch photography, trivia, and quick tips. This is truly your guide to attracting and feeding finches!
