Springtime Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis)

This handsome fellow has just a few feathers left to change over to be fully dressed in his summer finery.

Yes, a new picture, you all would have had a good laugh at me the other day, I had my camera set up outside while gardening and when I heard the birds coming in to the feeder I'd run over to the camera. Of course half the time they'd be gone by the time I was ready or I'd have scared them off... The things a person will do to get bird pics. LOL

A most beautiful image of this brightly coloured bird. I like the setting very much with its upright spring leaves at the end of the slim twigs.Beautiful presentation and colours.

This is really beautiful...the bright colours of the bird, and the delicate shapes of the new leaves work so well together! :clap:
