American goldfinch (Spinus tristis)

So handsome decked out in bright yellow contrasting nicely with the black. Outstanding MS!

Looking very formal there!

Lovely colours and pose.

Nice image, thanks for sharing it with us.

By the way

Our new Bird Forum/Opus system searches the Gallery by the information contained in the tags placed with an image.

Even if the information is in the title, it needs to be tagged. The most important tags are Common Name, Scientific Name, and Location.

It is the presence of these tags that will allow searchers to find and enjoy your most beautiful images. I'm sure you would be disappointed should someone happen to miss seeing one, or more, of them simply because no tags were present.

Your assistance in making this happen by placing tags on your uploaded images will be appreciated very much.

They sure are an eye catcher! Great image, tfs!
