Goldfinch

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this little bird alight on our yucca flowers right outside the window. I didn't want to move to frighten him away so got John to sneak around, get my camera and pass it to me,. all in slow motion!
Thankful for:
Our Yucca flowers are all gradually falling but this little bird stayed like this for at least 10 minutes!

Well done to get your camera and capture this without scaring him away! The goldfinches I have seen here are coloured differently, they must be another variety.

Excellent! The photo is fabulous and your coordination with John was to good advantage

[Yao RL]

what a perfect place to stand out, also just imagine your both in slow motion.

@chikadnz I think he was a youngster - they don't get red on their heads till they are adult!

I can see this being acted out from your narrative. It’s a lovely shot.
