Have a view of my daily photos or photos from my past. We all need to document the world around us visually. What I see is mostly what you get.

Goldfinch in Winter.......
The gold finch do not leave Iowa during the winter time, they just change their colors. The male at the top of seed sock keeps some of his yellow but that mixed with brown almost makes him look green. I was whining because I couldn't get a shot of a female finch eating at my coneflowers last month so this takes away the pain. I took a shot of the female at first and then the male joined her a little later. I was glad that they found the sock feeder today as it has been out there for a couple of weeks and only the chickadees where eating from it. It is fun to see them work their beaks into the opening, stretching out the net to get a seed to come through for them to eat.

It's a lovely picture, Larry. I'm hoping to attract more goldfinches to the garden this winter. Usually we get the odd one and that's all.
Goldfinch stay around here too, but only drop by occasionally.
Well cropped the birds! Glad you had fun watching them :) Hope they visit the feeder often
