This American goldfinch, now sporting his fine spring colours preens himself in the birch tree in our front garden. the garden is planted to resemble a sub-alpine meadow and has a variety of specimens that produce seeds the finches love to eat, including the flowers on this birch tree!
They're a favourite in the garden, adding their bright yellow spashes to the gardenscape and the male's song this time of year is quite melodic and ever so pleasant to listen to! Maybe I'm a female goldfinch in another dimension giving me an affinity for them! he! he!
It sure would be fun to be as flexible and agile as these little birds!
