What an excellent picture of the little seed eater. The American Goldfinch is Washington's state bird. Great shot. MB

Thanks for commenting on my blog. My sisters dog just loves the pool. He dives and swims and gets out and dives and swims some more. Very fun to watch and take pictures of!
Take care

Greetings from Juneau (Alaska) Daily Photo!
You take some incredible photos of birds.
The trees in our yard have been full of all kinds of activity. No, goldfinches, but lots of crossbills and chickadees. Many of the birds are heading south. They don't stick around long enough for me to identify.

Our Goldfinch is the bird that trumps yours for colour.

Lovely little bird.
But I hope the American Goldfish knows that he'll require a valid passport to visit Canada next year!

Aileni,
Tee hee. Stick around till spring and I'll photograph a more colourful goldfinch. Their colour turns quite dull this time of year. ;-)
