American goldfinches are truly stunning birds, and while the male’s breeding plumage generally gets the most attention, the female’s more muted colors and the mottling of molt are equally lovely.

This gallery is pure gold. I especially love the sunflower shot, the ‘standing room only at the feeder’ shot and the goldfinch surrounded by small yellow daisies. Just beautiful as usual.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment, Therese! I hope you’ll be back each month to check out our new featured birds and the galleries that will go with them. Happy birding!
They are are wonderful. But, I really like the one where the beauty is reflected in the water.
