A small beauty...

Seems this pic has disapeared, possibly with the earlier problems with blogger..
An American Goldfinch, so yellow, so pretty!! We sometimes call them 'wild canaries'
I have added a second pic too..
the male...
 the female ( I think) usually all yellow, this one does have a dark tinge to her top, so could be a juvenile male too..
 and this gal is having a bad day... ha!

  2. Lovely photo! He does look like a canary. Sadly, it seems like all the bright colored birds don't come this far north.

  3. They're beautiful. They winter here, but aren't quite so bright. Great shots.

  5. I love these birds...we have a lot of them here. Every day I see 5-6 at my feeders...but it's hard to get good shots with my point and shoot. Yours are great! Love that last one...she's definitely sporting an attitude. ;)
