American goldfinch

Back at the FWG this morning, Jeewanthi found a goldfinch amongst the chickadees and finches. While there, she had an interesting experience. She says: "When I was in the backyard near the bird feeder, the same hawk (I think) suddenly swooped down to chase Chickadees. There were not many birds there but they scattered making a loud alarm calls. The Chickadee on the spruce was keeping watch and making alarm call after that." She said it all happened very fast. The hawk referred to is a sharp-shinned hawk seen on March 1 in the FWG.
