Because they are seed eaters, finches don't have a true migration like insect eaters must. Instead, they migrate short distances when food sources are low in their wintering areas.

The American Goldfinch has spring and autumn migrations. This bird is a short distance migrant, preferring to migrate short distances when food supply decreases and cold weather approaches. The birds migrate in flocks, flying south to warmer temperatures and their favorite food-seeds!

I do not believe that finches migrate at all. I often see them here (in California) throughout the year. I do believe they only nest in the warmer months. But I am not positive.
