American Goldfinch (9916)

White Rock, NM

Spinus tristis
Here is another molting American Goldfinch (compare with yesterday's post). This one has new yellow
feathers developing along the flank. By mid-April they should be pretty much finished, although
every bird takes his own course through molting. By the second week of May, they will all leave and
head for more northerly climates.
