31 MAY 09 GOLDFINCH

Not sure if it's a juvenile or a female

the mesh bag feeder filled with thistle seed is just below this tree and filled to capacity with other finches
so this one waits for a turn

Oh,I love goldfinch. I keep trying to attract them, but never have much luck. Sometimes, but not often enough to get any sort of decent picture.

Nice shot! Have yet to get a decent pic of one, myself.

Our goldfinches are very different to this. Ours have bright red faces and black & white heads. I'd show you a pic, but I don't have your patience for bird pics... :-)

I miss ours. They left almost six weeks ago to head up north.
