Some Recent Birds
Amaranth – A Bounty Of Food For Fall Yard Birds

Juvenile American Goldfinch Compared To The Adult Male
For some reason I seldom see and rarely photograph juvenile American Goldfinches. Until recently I didn’t realize how striking and distinctive their wing patterns and colors are and how different they are from the adults.
