I'm not sure what it is about them, but he loves them. Once he let go of mowing a certain strip coming up their driveway and it grew out, it all of a sudden became an American goldfinch habitat! There seemed to be hundreds of them. Every day when he got home from work and drove down the driveway, he'd be greeted by tons of these finches flying around.
It was a great example of the type of thing we are missing in our perfectly manicured environments. The type of biodiversity in a patch of land that is allowed to express itself naturally is breathtaking.
Love it!
Yes, Earth is a crucible for Beauty. I love goldfinches too. They fly around my flowers, they really like echinacea.
