We alway have lots of American Goldfinches and they eat like piggies. Here are a few I took this morning. Soon the males will be bright yellow and look like they are wearing black wigs on their head.

Thanks for looking..Rose

Both are great, but I like the 2nd better.

I'm hoping to find some of these guys around here this weekend.

Thank you Shar, Stan, Johnathan, Roland, Woody, Mr. Green, Aflues and Pat. I appreciate you looking and for your most encouraging comments. I must admit that of all the yard birds these are the easiest to photograph since they will pose so nicely and seem quite tame. They are always the first ones to try out any new feeders or perches too!!

Pat...I'm with you and can't wait for them to change colors.

Thanks again everyone...Rose

Super shots Rose. They are a beautiful and gentle bird. We haven't had very many this winter, I hope we will see more soon.

Nice closeups! I have tons of them too. Also a few pine siskins mixed in.
