Cobirders, I was part of a small birding party in SE Boulder Co this morning and we were somewhat surprised to see recently fledged Lesser Goldfinches still being fed by their parents. It struck us as unusually late in the season.
I'll note that both species of goldfinches seemed late to start nesting in this area. I personally did not see any nesting behavior until after July 15. Granted, goldfinches are not the earliest species to start breeding ... but to me this seems like one more little example of how songbirds' status is a bit "off" this year.
