In butterflies in my backyard and I never see gold finches anymore. We used to have 20 at the feeders. Now I do so see house finches but I miss those golden beauties they have been gone for 2 years along with the butterflies.

I have plenty of butterfly bushes that used to be filled. It is very troubling and my yard seems silent.
