Yes, they are the Goldfinches. The male (he is bright yellow with black markings) is coming with the female (who is olive colored) and they fly off together after she has taken what she needs. But I haven't seen the male gather the fluff at all today.

At the rate it is going down, the wire holder will be empty by
nightfall! LOL It is 1/2 gone already!

We feed the little birds in a tube feeder in winter so they stay near us. We also have a backyard feeder with sunflower and millet, for the larger birds.

I've never had the fluff out this late, so this is the first time I've seen the pretty little finches coming for it.
