Field Notes

Description:

This is either a female or immature. Pale yellow all over, faint wing bars, and the white patch below the primaries on the wing distinguishes this from the American Goldfinch. Lifer!

Habitat:

Several of these guys were flying around between the ground and low trees near a creek.
