Goldfinch Flyaway


The goal is not to change your subjects, but for the subject to change the photographer.

This little flyaway goldfinch was seen on the same day as the one I posted before. Some have asked how often I see these little ones .... I see them quite often. Sweet little yellows hanging out in the fields and chowing down on the seeds. Click HERE to hear the variety of songs they sing. (I had to click it twice so you may need to do that.)

    Goldfinches seem to be at their height in color contrast. Yours looks like a jet coming in for a landing.

    Lovely in flight image, Kerri! I love the speed shown in this photograph. Goldfinches have the most beautiful song. Great capture!

    The little Goldfinch sure has some beautiful songs. We have them here around Edmonton as well, but mostly in the rural areas.

    Love the movement of this. We get the goldfinches in winter, but they never have their beautiful summer colors. It's great.

    Great catch! We have them in our front yard these days - I've kept the thistle feeder full. Before long the flowers will have seeds...
