  1. Frae fields whare Spring her sweets has blawn
    Wi’ caller verdure our the lawn,
    The Gowdspink comes in new attire,
    The brawest ’mang the whistling choir…

    —Robert Fergusson (1750–1774), “Ode to the Gowdspink”
    from The Poetical Works of Robert Fergusson (Glasgow, 1800)

  2. Sun-Kissed Aviator

    A sunlit American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis) perches gracefully, its vibrant plumage echoing the warmth of a spring morning.

  3. I'd be interested to know what everyone thinks of this 'type/style' of wildlife photo.

    By all means, it's not your traditional photo but I quite like the mysteriousness of it with the goldfinch hiding amongst the light and the out of focus branches in the foreground. My only wish is that its face and eyes were more clear.

  4. Sunbeam at the Feeder

    “Most of the American goldfinches (Spinus tristis) have already migrated north, but I spotted this little male yesterday still hanging around. Maybe he’s staying for the buffet.

  5. Golden Observer

    This is an American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis). I photographed this particular bird several years ago.

  6. Crimson Canvas

    This is a goldfinch (Spinus tristis). I’m not sure what’s causing the reddish tint in the background. There’s a brick-red shed nearby, but I can’t think of any branch that would offer a line of sight with the shed behind it.

  12. I was cutting some rosemary for dinner (being careful to avoid spooking the honey bees), heard a rustling, and spied a lesser goldfinch trying to hide under the sourgrass and leaf litter.

    Dude, be glad I'm not a hawk, or you'd be dead. 🙁

    (This is also a “the best camera is the one you have with you” moment; I used my cell phone.)

  13. #Stieglitz an Wilder #Karde. Pflanzt Karden. Die blühen zwar nur kurz (Die Blüten werden sehr gerne von #Hummeln und #Pelzbienen besucht), sehen aber auch abgeblüht dekorativ aus. Und bieten jetzt unseren Stieglitzen Nahrung; an der Futtersäule können die sich nicht gegen Sperlinge und Grünfinken durchsetzen. Meisen suchen die Samenstände auch oft nach Spinnen und anderen Arthropoden ab.

  14. Heh. I should have cropped it this way. The goldfinch peering down at the nuthatch is the best part.

  15. The goldfinch babies have finally fledged! I saw 2 of them at the feeder with their dad (he looks bad because he is molting). Here one perches above the feeder, asking to be fed. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #fledgling #goldfinch #birdphotography #video #HoosierMast

  20. A slushy snow, hail-damp day brings out the birds to commiserate with each other while Wisconsinites head to the polls to vote. #Wisconsin #Mazomanie #April #BirdsOfMastodon #VotingDay #SlushySnow #Robin #Cardinal #Junco #Goldfinch #Civics #Spring
