American
Goldfinch Range Map
The American Goldfinch breeds from
southern British Columbia and north-central
Alberta east to central Ontario and southwestern
Newfoundland, and south to California, southern
Colorado, northeastern Texas, central Alabama,
and South Carolina. It winters from southern
British Columbia, the northern United States,
southern Ontario, and Nova Scotia south to
Mexico, the Gulf Coast, and southern Florida. The
American Goldfinch frequents habitats with
thistles or cattails, such as open weedy fields,
farmyards, swamps, pastures with scattered trees,
and forest edges. In the West, it inhabits
riparian areas, especially those with willows
present along streams, ditches, and ponds.
