Not a good or especially interesting photo at all, (shot through a thick, very dirty window!), but I just had to LOL when I spotted this goldfinch at our feeders today. It is the season now where the males are getting brighter and brighter every day in order to attract the females for the upcoming nesting season, but this, shall we say, not-very-little dude was waaay more interested in eating. We have been observing these birds for years and never have I seen such a chunky hunk--he's easily twice the size around as normal! He was quite oblivious to the several females who were quite intrigued by such, um, girth. ;-)
