American Goldfinch (juv).jpg

Four of these little birds flew in and perched in a Cedar Tree for a few minutes. I was able to only get a few shots before they flew off again. I thought they were some kind of Finch, but am not certain. I only got to see them and take a few photos from the front.

Thanks to all with the help for the ID. An immature American Goldfinch it is.

Great sharp image of this Finch (not sure what type though).

Sure looks like an American Goldfinch to me, Hank. Nice shot.

A wonderful vibrance and warmth from the lighting to contrast with the ice on the branches. Beautifully composed Hank! VV

Looks like a young Goldfinch, Hank. I've seen a few last year in my area. Nice sharp capture. V

Hmm, fluffed up on a cold day but very pale. I await with interest the verdict.
