American Goldfinch

“Goldfinches are almost exclusively seed eaters, apparently able to get all of their protein needs from their seed diet.”

Thanks so much for commenting on my photo of the goldfinch. We had a family of them living in our tree all summer and playing in our fountain, and I've tried to capture them all summer long, but they are so wary. Then we went out to find hot air balloons, and there was this one in yonder bushes who was not jittery at all!
