As 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?

It was a delight to see! Thank you. He was moulting, but not looking too rough😉

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