American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis)

So here's my first post for 2009. Today was very cold and windy and the birds were feeding almost non-stop all day. We had a large flock of these Goldfinches along with eight Pine Siskins and a few House Finches - Jays, Woodpeckers, Juncos, Sparrows etc. a busy, busy day. What a delight to have some sun to work with.

Anyway, Happy New Year to all my friends at Bird Forum! May your year be filled with beautiful birds and perfect captures!
