Unfortunately, if you have an urgent package to mail out on Saturday, driving it to its destination may be your only option. In addition to the USPS, both UPS and FedEx will be closed on the Fourth of July. FedEx Home Delivery will be delivering packages on Friday, and UPS will be open for business as usual on the 3rd. T-minus 7 days until 4th of July. Red, White, Blue and better than you.
1 The male Goldfinch has a longer beak than the female and so can feed on teasels, something the female rarely tries to do.  Numerous European flocks are migratory flying to the Mediterranean for the winter.
The call note of the goldfinch sounds like dear me, dear me. They are also called catnip bird, beet bird, lettuce bird, salad bird and thistle bird because they eat those seeds. Other names include wild canary, willow goldfinch and yellowbird.Accidents can happen to goldfinches. They have been caught on the hooked burrs of burdock and could not escape.hile its true that the goldfinch enjoys thistle seeds, there is nothing sad about this beautiful, colourful little bird. Goldfinches are between 11 and 14 centimetres (4 1/2 to 5 1/2 inches) long and weigh from 11.8 to 13.3 grams (1/3 to 1/2 ounce).
