This Goldfinch was crawling all over the tree just outside my upstairs window. We know it's spring when they start to change colors, from the winter brown to the spring/summer bright yellow.
Thanks, Shu. This little guy never really set up for that classic pose; he was just too busy checking out the buds. I like this pose as well, with his right leg gripping the branch well behind him, and the left one right beneath his body.
