We have anywhere from 30 to 60 finches at a time visiting the feeder.

Cool HD.  You sure have a lot of wildlife at your place.  We will have no birds and then all of a sudden the feeder is full.  Love watching them.  We got to watch a fox awhile back on the hill that is maybe 80 yards from the house.  He was catching mice and then throwing them up in the air and catching them again, just like a cat would do.  I was going to trap the fox and an occasional bobcat that we have had on our trail camera but then pulled the 2 traps on my trap line.  Would rather have them catch the rodents.   Sure would like to have a bobcat fur though.

We have a bird here that they call a "redpoll"
Is that a type of Finch too?

I ain't sure....are those the ones that look like a sparrow with the lite pink or purple breast?

I "borrowed" this picture from another site, because I don't have camera skills.
But, this is what they look like.

You must not be following the threads....yup, my 🐦 feeder line is on a cable behind the house about 20 yards out from the back of the house.
