Not as nice as Rocky's shots, but it's the best I could do from a distance! It was fun watching her pull the fluff from the plants.

Thanks Rog. I think she might have felt it a little in that second shot!

Thanks Jeff. This plant is at our farm, but for some reason one grew at my house this year too. So far, no Goldfinches on it yet!

Hey Sandy, just noticed that doggone spell check changed my "don't" to "do". I intended it to be a light-hearted warning.:oops:

Don't you just love spell check Rog? So many times I've gone back and read something, and thought...why would I say that! Yup, technology! I just assumed you noticed her lifting her foot, it's very noticeable in some of my other shots that I didn't process.

Yes indeed!

It's a thrill having that first shot on "Explore" on Flickr. Only the second image for me featured, the first being a female Northern Cardinal!

Good job on catching that action, Sandy! That's a really nice shot, I love the action shots.
Also, I looked at your Flickr and you have a lot og good ones there too, but I really like that Red-headed Woodpecker the best, that's my favorite shot! :)

Thank you very much for the comment here and on Flickr. So many bird reporting sights didn't believe me on the Red headed Woodpecker until they saw the pictures! Very rare in my area. I'm so glad you liked my Flickr, thanks again Randy!
