Life Stories, Travels,Photos and Music
Yesterday, December 20, 2021, the first goldfinch of the winter season appeared on our birdfeeder. Though in winter plumage, a hint of gold is visible on its neck and upper chest, and its distictive wing bars positively identify it. With cooler air moving in, it will soon be joined by others flocking to the feeder. By March, its colors will intensify and by early April will be quite gold indeed, and then they will return north once again.
