Life Stories, Travels,Photos and Music
Today we spotted our first goldfinch of the season, and belying its name, it had no gold. Its feathers were in winter colors, like the birds in the photo above, but its distinctive wing markings gave it away. They always show up between Thanksgiving and Christmas, chased south by the cold. When their feathers turn gold, we know they will be heading north for the rest of the year, but between now and April we will enjoy their aerial antics around the feeders.
