For several weeks now, my sunflower kernel feeder has been mobbed by a flock of 20+ AMGO. in the last few days I have noticed many individuals showing a faint summer golden hue with a few showing splashes of vivid gold in various spots.
Isn't this change a bit early? Have other feeder watchers in NWA seen plumage changes in their AMGO clients?
I wonder if the highly nutritious menu at my place is playing a part?
