Spinus tristus
Our American Goldfinches are beginning to molt into their summer plumage,
characterized by the rich canary-yellow of the males, and the deep golden yellows
of the females. This particular bird is showing a deeper yellow below the throat,
and its beak is turning a bit more orange. I suspect this one is a male.
In another month, they will be mostly complete in their molting.
