I get lot's of beautiful goldfinches in my backyard.
The food level in the goldfinch feeder keeps dropping,
but I haven't been seeing them.
They have been "elusive"!!
Yesterday, I needed a break from "work".
I took out the camera, opened the window and
aimed at my favorite bird tree...
there he was!!
Being shy...
Giving me the cold shoulder...
Pretending he did not see me, hanging out the window...
Starting to become interested...
Saving the best for last, there he is, finally cooperating,
and looking extremely handsome!!
and looking extremely handsome!!
Debbie,
ReplyDeleteLucky you got to capture him. Nic shots.Have a great day!

Don't you love the yellow ones. We have oodles of finches....going broke buying their food:)
ReplyDeletewow, it looks like he could've bit you on the nose! Aren't they fun to watch!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Debbie! We had goldfinches over the winter, but their plumage wasn't nearly as bright then. Love this one!
ReplyDeleteSo,
ReplyDeletesay cheese!
So sweet and such a vibrant colour. Great shots! When I hang out the window to get a bird pic, they immediately fly away and I can hear them laughing at me.
ReplyDeletelucky you to keep them in summer!
ReplyDeleteThe Goldfinches are in their prime!
ReplyDeleteYanks VS Tigers...round one goes to the pinstripers. Dang!
What a pretty bird!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures Debbie! You are so lucky to have such well trained birds. They are so cooperative for you :)

They sure are beautiful birds! Great shots even when he was being uncooperative. My grandfather always called them "wild canaries."
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie...Lovely elusive Goldfinch photo's, I think he was giving you the "cold gold shoulder though" ; }

Debbie, the Goldies are such pretty birds. I love the male Goldfinch in the summer months. he is so bright and beautiful. Thanks for sharing, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteTheir bright color just perks up the whole day.
ReplyDeleteOkay now that I have lured a bluebird in, maybe I need a bit of yellow? They are beautiful...I have never seen one here. Bonnie
