A FLOCK OF BRIGHT YELLOW BIRDS – Marilyn Armstrong

Try not to let your shock show, but in the morning we had a flock of red House Finches, but by afternoon, an awful lot of Goldfinch had found their way home again. Between one thing and another, I managed to take a few pictures.

They came back

Flapping finch and curious watcher

More yellow day by day

Fluffy bottom feathers because this bird is molting!

Apparently the molting twice a year is unusual. I love the fluffy feathers

A lonely Goldfinch

Waiting for a space on the feeder

Coming in for a landing!

It turns out that Goldfinch are the ultimate feeder birds. Unlike other birds who will eat insects, Goldfinch only eat seeds. When it comes time to feed their babies, they are most grateful because those little ones are hungry!
