I took this photo in October of last year. I’m not sure if this is a female goldfinch or a male in non breeding colours. Either way, an attractive bird in a thoughtful pose.

I have not learned to tell the difference between a pine siskin and a winter goldfinch.

They do look similar. A tough call.

They are pretty birds with a charming call. Looking forward to seeing them at the feeder this winter!

They seem to be nomadic in winter, descending on the feeders for a few days before moving off to another to return and start the cycle again. Though they stuck around for the past couple months eating the sunflower seeds on the plants in the garden. It was a daily chorus!

Nice Belinda! Reminds me of my old home with a pond! Many Goldfinches liked splashing in the water’s shallow edge.

Thank you, Reed! This pond is in a wildlife garden and attracts a good number of birds.

Looking very pensive–maybe he (or she) is having daydreams about what life would be like as a heron.
