Thanks, Andrew. Glad to hear that your birds are returning. I've been fortunate to have them here all winter.

Aah, now I know why you came back to us: to dazzle us with the beauty of your images! Because these are all very beautiful, Harvey with IQ that is off the scale. You haven't lost your touch!

You make me smile. Thanks a lot, Levina. Actually I came because I missed all the great folks on this forum, you being one of them.

All great; but I really love 4 and 5. That 'contemplative' look is funny on such small balls of fluff.

Your return is replete with inspirational photographs Harv. Welcome back!

Another sweet series Harv! I like the goofy look the last two have they must be twins.

Wow, excellent shots of the goldfinches. Super series!

Thanks a lot. Much appreciated.

All classic poses Harv with some wonderfully interesting catch lights in their eyes!
I couldn't help but think that the Goldfinch in the 1st image was so chubby his poor eye was bulging out - . And #4 looks like a mad scientist. I'm sorry it's kind of late, and I have a sick sense of humor sometimes.
I love the cuteness factor in #s 3 & 5. They just kind of tug at your heartstrings.
It looks like your guys have that same golden hue to them that mine do. I really believe that Goldfinches must have been named in the winter. Won't be too much longer they'll be back to being little yellow rockets though. We'll look forward to more then.
