The American or Eastern Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis) is migratory, ranging from mid-Alberta to North Carolina during the breeding season, and from just south of the Canadian border to Mexico during the winter.
However, not all Goldfinches migrate, especially if they live in the south. Here in NE Georgia, I have Goldfinch at my winter feeding station. In the spring they nest in my woods and when the sunflowers are ripe in the summer, they come out from the woods to devour the seed heads.

Explanation of the laburnum top bu ted hughes?
žThe Poem "The Laburnum Top" is a beautiful poem by Ted Hughes. In this poem, the poet has used the Laburnum tree and goldfinches as a symbol of life and its fluctuations. žHe describes the visiting of goldfinches on the Laburnum tree and how she has made a nest on it. When the goldfinches have chicks, it brings alive the tree as the chicks start to rustle and chirp. ž Hughes is trying to convey the message that life is a process of exchange and transformation. People are alive because they undergo exchange of energy. The goldfinches transform the tree and make it alive, without the goldfinches and the chicks the laburnum is just another tree.
