A Visit from the American Goldfinch

It's wonderful to see the American Goldfinch in their beautiful brilliant yellow color at the feeders. 



During the winter months this perky 5 inch male bird isn't bright yellow but it much paler with a dull olive yellow color. 




He does visit my feeders all winter so it is exciting to watch him return to his spring and summer colors. 




I'm thanking for all the birds at my feeders. Thanks for stopping by - Judy

    Gorgeous. Yellow is one of my favorite colors -- such a happy color ... maybe that's why the Goldfinch is a favorite!
