A bird!  Think it's a goldfinch. by quietpurplehaze

A bird! Think it's a goldfinch.

I can even manage bird shots with the zoom on my new camera!
LOL.... the food looks to be huge, wondering if the birds eyes are bigger than what his mouth is? You caught great detail on the birds feathers. One can see the wispy feathering on the breast. Awesome shot.

This is a young goldfinch which is why he hasn't got the full red effect on his head - lovely shot Hazel and I'm glad you're enjoying your new camera

Dear Hazel , I`m a goldfinch. ( Kidding ) The pic. I use is from a Goldfinch. I think it`s a ``File:Yellow-fronted Canary.jpg`` (Wikipedia)
And it`s a great and beautiful capture by any name
