Goldfinch Spinus tristis shot a few Winters ago.

I came across this oldie whilst I was looking for files to delete from my PC. I decided not to crop it because the snow makes a nice background.

He's such a cutie :3 Poor things you wonder how they survive winter! Tough birds. We have house finches though on our feeders that are quite friendly. They'll sit on the feeders and let you get pretty close before flying off, so I get good pics of them

We don't get too many house finches. Mostly chickadees, tits, and nuthatches. And lots of mourning doves on the ground.

I'm waiting to see if the bluebirds, show up.

They let you know when they're around, so loud!

My Aunt can call them, she puts peanuts out and tries to imitate their sounds. They come for the peanuts but are gone so fast I can't get a good photo! Gonna keep trying.

Are you talking about bluebirds or blue jays? Because bluebirds aren't loud, as far as I remember.

*SilkenWinds Dec 4, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

Whoops I was talking about blue jays. My bad.
