American Gold Finch, (Male)

,,but i'm sure not complaining

So, so many. Showing his beautiful colors and patterning.

Sad to see them go.

But probably leaving soon. Taken on one of the branches Steve Berliner likes ;)

I'm surprised they are still hanging around. Not complaining though

I'm surprised they are still here so they should be moving on shortly

.....we've been having that has brought these guys into their breeding plumage already. It's a pleasure seeing them in this condition before they leave me.

This magnificent looking male showed up yesterday and as I mentioned to Chris (Scridifer) earlier, me thinks we're in for an early breeding season although the Goldfinches are one of the later ones to breed.

Only one like this around

This Goldfinch has an eye infection in it's left eye. The right eye is OK and he seems to be doing fine.

At least they are considerate enough to hang around while this happens ;)
