Here lately I'm afraid to ID a bird on the forum for fear that I've been wrong half my life. Live and learn, though. I'm getting a belated education from you folks.
Comments welcome, of course.
Thanks,
Bob

Nice shots Bob. I've noticed mine seem to be paired up now too. some of the males still have those white patches though.

Got that ID right this time!!!
I woke up this afternoon from a nap and I had 8 of them, 2 males and 6 females on the sock feeder I have for them.
Good job!

My first impulse was to say Black-winged Canary. :) But you beat me to it.

Bob, nice shots.

I like that first "over the shoulder" coy pose, definitely a flirting female. :)
Nice!

Great shots! The ones at my feeder are still pretty skitish, hope they calm down so I can get some decent pics.

I like both of these shots. You did well to get shots of her in the open.
