What type of nest do American goldfinch use or make?

American goldfinches build cup-shaped nests, typically using grasses, plant down, and spider silk for construction. They often place their nests in shrubs or trees, usually at a height of 3 to 10 feet off the ground. The nests are typically well-camouflaged to protect against predators. Goldfinches often reuse nesting sites in subsequent years.
