Goldfinch

It was a miserable day today - freezing rain, then rain and high winds, then sleet. During a brief lull in the afternoon we had a full on Finch party at the feeder. There must have been 15 or 20 of them, including this little guy.

Aww! Look at him with that sunflower seed. You made him happy! Wishing you better weather. Yours sounds a lot like our January.

They're sweet little guys - weather here isn't much better!

'Finch party' is quite right, they arrive, plunder seeds and disappear. Nice shot.

He is so sweet.

They come to my feeder first thing in the morning. When I go outside to hang it it sounds like a pet shop with all the little chirping sounds. Good shot!
