Carduelis psaltria

As I was heading out of the house to a meeting, I noticed this Lesser Goldfinch hopping around in the lavender bushes. So I went back into the house and grabbed the camera to see what he was up to. I was surprised to see that he appears to be eating either the blossoms, or perhaps seeds? We are nearing the end of the lavenders blooming, so it isn't clear exactly what he was after. In any case, he looks nice mixed in among the lavenders.
