Canada Thistles Feed Birds and Insects

American Goldfinch
I must remind myself to watch carefully at the Canadian thistles.  They have lots of mature thistle seeds which feed the birds, probably most notably, the American Goldfinch.

 The blooms contain nectar which feeds several insects such as the Silver-spotted Skipper above, as well as bees and other butterflies.
