BELINDA GROVER PHOTOGRAPHY

STOPS ALONG THE WAY

OUT ON A LIMB (TWO PHOTOGRAPHS)

22 Comments

I believe this bird is a sparrow but I can’t say for sure. For the past month or so we’ve been visiting a wildlife garden as our favourite reserve is still closed after a recent storm. The garden attracts many smaller birds and I was pleased to capture this bird balancing on a twig in the water.

    Nice shot, and yes, it’s a goldfinch.

    I third the goldfinch ID. A female, possibly already getting into winter plumage. Nice shots!

    Good eye! Very nice photos. I think this may be an American goldfinch (immature, maybe?). It’ll be heading south soon…

    Nice captures with wonderful feather detail and colors. Nice to get him out in the open like that.

    Isn’t this a goldfinch? Are you in North America?
