Goldfinches and Sunflowers

From the September 2, 1851 entry in Henry David Thoreau's Journal:

"What affinity is it that brings the goldfinch to the sunflower - both yellow - to pick its seeds?...

Raise some sunflowers to attract the goldfinches, to feed them as well as your hens. What a broad and loaded, bounteously filled platter of food is presented this bon-vivant!"

Please send us your sunflower photos along with a narrative and location, etc.
