American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis)

Love this handsome fellow in his winter plumage. Many of our Goldfinches here are still looking a bit on the ragged side halfway through their seasonal moults. Was able to have some lovely yellow maple leaves to warm up the BG for him. Hope you enjoy.

I'm off to teach the next three days so I'll probably not have the time to post until Monday. 'See' you all then!
