A typical summer sight is a male American Goldfinch flying over a meadow, flashing golden in the sun, calling per-chick-o-ree as it bounds up and down in flight. In winter, when males and females alike are colored in a subtler brown, flocks of goldfinches congregate in weedy fields and at feeders, making musical and plaintive calls. But if climate change continues unchecked, 65% of this beloved beauty’s current breeding range could soon disappear.
