(And now, an actual bird-related post... :P )

Which Northeastern US finches migrate seasonally, and how far south?

Basically, in an effort to attract a broader class of clientele at the feeding stations, several weeks ago I hung up thistle-seed. But it hasn't increased the variety of birds: same twelve species still show up every day.

None of them are finches. None even seem interested in the nyger seed.

Surely there's finches that winter in the NY-NJ-PA latitudes? Or has our resident Retarded Cat mauled and eaten them all?
