Goldfinch
This handsome little finch, the state bird of New Jersey, Iowa, and Washington, is welcome and common at feeders, where it takes primarily sunflower and nyjer. Goldfinches often flock with Pine Siskins and Common Redpolls. Spring males are brilliant yellow and shiny black with a bit of white. Females and all winter birds are more dull but identifiable by their conical bill; pointed, notched tail; wingbars; and lack of streaking. During molts they look bizarrely patchy.

Thank you so much for visiting my galleries, Cindy. I appreciate the Fav and Like and especially the kind words. I love the goldfinches but they don't always fit the color theme I am looking for but this green background texture from Jai seemed to click for the little guys.
