- Lesser Goldfinches are often found in large flocks at feeder stations, near the tops of taller trees in scrubby habitats, and in weedy fields
- They feed in small groups, moving through low weeds and other plants to get to seeds, buds, flowers, or fruits
- Napa thistle is a primary food source, and they also eat sunflower and niger seeds
- Lesser Goldfinches migrate into Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico during breeding season
==> "Lesser" birds aren't really worth less than the "Greater" birds ... Lesser (usually) just means smaller in size
