American Goldfinch #4141

White Rock, NM

Carduelis tristis

I have been experimenting a bit, using flash fill so that the backlighted pictures are not quite as high in contrast. When I get my regular camera back from the shop, I think I will like the pictures a bit more.

This American Goldfinch sat nicely on a blackberry cane near me, and seems comfortable with all those thorns around.
