9/24/04 - What Am I?

By the pond getting shots of a heron http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/34186451 when this little birdy came by. Also, a flock of bluebirds stopped by & this one checked out the bluebird house about 20 feet behind me http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/34186450 . Easy to get good shots when the subjects come to you. Two more views of "birdy" if it will help with the ID. I'm not too good at birds beyond the obvious ones. http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/34186453 and http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/34186452

Kate, Thanks for the bird ID. Goldfinch would have been my last guess since it's one that I recognize (in its bright yellow suit), and I thought I had seen several yellow ones about an hour earlier.

Lovely shot, Ed. The bird is an American Goldfinch in winter plumage. In summer the male is bright yellow.
