Goldfinch, I Presume!

What a nice morning, sunny but cold, a fine day for a walk in Delta Ponds. While there I saw several birds, including this Goldfinch. I am guessing, with the assistance of my Birds of Oregon book, that it is an American Goldfinch. They are shy birds and difficult to get close to. This one stayed hidden in a bush. I managed to maneuver around a bit so I could get a clear shot, one that I really like.

What a beauty.

Excellent shot of this shy bird! We have them here in the summer, but it's not easy to get a good shot of them without a long lens. V

It's a Gold Something or Other, that's for sure. ;-)

Whatever it is, it makes a pretty and bright picture.
Laura Milholland25-Jan-2017 06:12
Lovely capture, Vern. And I think you have it right - I would agree that it is a female goldfinch, and most likely an American Goldfinch.
