American Goldfinch



I know this is an awful picture, but birds are not known for coming close enough and remaining still enough for stellar up-close shots with the average camera. Nevertheless, the neighbor's yard was astir with American Goldfinches today. See the three yellow blurs on the feeder? They're amazingly vibrant and it's fun to see them flitting about. I counted at least 3 males and 1 female. I think there were more, but they wouldn't obligingly line up to be counted, either.
