Re: [cobirds] House Wrens: The most efficient backyard hunters around (Arapahoe)

Enjoyed your tales of backyard birding activity.  One of my observations in our area Denver S/E near Cherry Creek  shopping center are the changes in bird demographics. Spotted Towhees have been increasing year after year and are now permanent residents while American Goldfinch have become scarce. The Goldfinch population started falling off about 3 years ago and by last year there were very few around. This year I have only seen one at our feeder. The House Wrens are doing great, they love foraging in our thick undergrowth as with you the Chickadees are flourishing and all the locals seem to have had good healthy broods. 

What's happened to the Goldfinches?
