America Goldfinch, Spinus tristis: Horse Cove near Gurley, Alabama
The American Goldfinches here in North Alabama are just reaching full
breeding plumage and are absolutely beautiful. I shot this image last year, but I had at
least seventy-five at my feeders today along with a hundred or so Pine
Siskins. I believe most of my winter finches have left and the ones at my feeders now are summer residents. They will disperse as soon as breeding begins. The Pine Siskins should be moving north very soon, but today my yard was alive with
birds. I’m am really enjoying spring, hope you are also.
