Gold Finches

Here is the pair of Gold Finches that is frequenting my feeders. They are especially fond of the thistle seed (also known as Niger). The female is on the left, with more muted coloring, and the male on the right with the bright bold yellow. On the sunflower seed feeder you can spot the female Black-headed Grosbeak.

Those little nimble musicians of the air, that warble forth their curious ditties, with which nature hath furnished them to the shame of art. ~Izaak Walton
