American Goldfinch

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

Diane photographed this handsome male goldfinch eating thistle seeds, a favourite food. She notes that on August 17: "I saw a Giant Swallowtail flying around in the BYG. Photographed the small moth seen last year: Metalmark moth (Caloreas leucobasis) on the sunflower on the side wall of the centre. Many rabbits around. Arriving in the Butterfly Meadow, American Goldfinches were there in large number, plus two Flickers in the Model Monarch Waystation area. Saw an Eastern-tailed blue in the Butterfly Meadow, Common Ringlet and many other pollinators."

A beautiful shot of this goldfinch! Lovely colors, composition and DOF! The thistle makes a wonderful "stage" to this scene! V
