The Gold of Spring
During Spring the American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis) turns into a beautiful yellow colour. This bird hints at his new colours to come.

This is a great picture, showing the color change. They do look rather dirty at this time of year, but we know, brighter colors are coming.

Ruth, thank you! They are certainly one of my favourites, even in winter colours!

One of few birds with such a drastic colour shift… And always at the feeders… Such fun to watch.
