A little yellow to brighten the day (Carduelis psaltria)

Lesser Goldfinches occur year round in my area; yet I only see them at the niger feeder in the winter and early spring. Whenever possible they like to feed on a more natural diet. These are the smallest of the goldfinches found in North America. This is the Adult Western Male, distinguished from the Adult Texas Male by the lack of black all along his back as a Texas male would have.
