Does anyone know if American goldfinches ever live in the Pacific Northwest?  I've never seen one yet.

Range map via Cornell: 

I'm near Seattle and my thistle feeder is FULL of them, everyday.  There was a short period where they abandoned ship to nest and raise babies but they're back in full force - mostly females (or juvenile males and females).  When you see one of the boys out there, it's like a canary got loose....they're so bright and beautiful.
