Goldfinch-2As we were about to leave the park after several hours in the field, we saw a flash of yellow by the side of the road. The goldfinch was feasting on the seeds of the dried flower. As he moved the fluff would separate forming a fan around him.

    What a lovely sight to see the seed pod fluff fly about the goldfinch! I love their bright yellow color – this guy looks to be molting, eh?

    These are absolute stunners, Belinda! Goldfinches regularly visit my garden feeder.

    Great goldfinch portraits! We see them only very briefly in Minnesota, and they are very shy. Love the seed-fan setting!
