Field Notes

Description:

I've been watching my backyard goldfinch every day waiting to see it transform from a golden yellow to a brilliant yellow. This morning on the thistle feeder I was rewarded with the sight of a pretty yellow goldfinch feeding. It is such a wonderful delight to see these pretty little goldfinches transform into their breeding plumage.

Habitat:

My backyard.
