American Goldfinch


AMERICAN GOLDFINCH
Carduelis tristis 4.5 -5.5:
These have a little black cap that looks like it is tipped forward. Bright yellow and dark black, but they mellow out in the winter, bearing olive green and dull yellow colors instead.
I love these, they are so cheery and prevalent. I took this picture in Rutland State Park by a stream.
