I had 2 new birds at my feeder today. Yucky, rainy day, but this was the best I had with the time I had. Can anyone identify? It looks like a Finch, I think? It was slightly yellow. I didn't get a good look at it's back, but it had distinct black feathers on the ends of it's wings. The other bird was black and white - I hope he comes back.
@vskolnik I think you're right Vee - an American goldfinch. I had no idea that they changed plumage in the winter. I love learning new things. This guy fit the bill for winter plumage - cool! Thanks so much!
@karenann Thanks Karenann! I did a little processing to berng out the colors since it was s dreary today. Thanks as always for stopping by and your kind words.
It definitely has a finch beak but doesn't look like the type of goldfinch we have so I'm guessing it must be an American one. Love the grittiness and composition with the bird and feeder on the right xx
