American goldfinches display the typical undulating flight of Fringillidae. They beat their wings a few times, causing them to ascend, followed by a brief descent on closed wings. This flight causes a flock to have a light, buoyant, dancing appearance. Flocks are formed often, since goldfinches are social at all times of the year. (Middleton, 1993)
American goldfinches are active during the day. They migrate between summer and winter ranges throughout most of their range. They are often seen in groups in shrubs and weeds as they forage for seeds. (Middleton, 1993)
