gold finch

First male I've seen in a while! At Huntington Beach State Park, SC

Cleaning up some files and found this on. Not the best but the only gold finch I have.

This adult Goldfinch was trying to feed five juveniles at the feeder; I think the other two were clambering over each other just out of shot lol https://www.tomcharlesphotography.co.uk/

Every time I see these photos I crack up. Of course the goldfinch was just scanning around for threats as small birds will. He's just looking over his shoulder and then looks up. But to me it looks like this finch ate some fermented seeds and this is the moment when they hit and things go...

Two gold finches, one of which definitely does NOT have a sharing spirit! lol

This is a rather smaller than usual and delicate looking goldfinch that I have started calling Whitetip, because of the white feathers at the end of it's tail. I'm not sure if this is a usual colouration for these things. I'm pretty sure this is the only one around here like this. It's very cute...

Taken in our small park near our house.

Some are nearly done changing to summer colors. Others are still olive colored.

This American Gold Finch was on full alert as a small Accipater flew over the area ..off to the safety of the Pines he flew and never reappeared. Liked his unusual stance and appearance ..second later he was gone...

Have not been able to get out for a while. Today it has started to rain, but I managed to get a couple of shots this morning.

GoldFinch with two bills!

Another from the one decent day in my garden last week.
