goldfinch
Bright thistle eater
A goldfinch is a small songbird with bright yellow and black markings, common across North America and Europe.
The American goldfinch, sometimes called the wild canary, is known for its vibrant yellow breeding plumage and undulating flight pattern.
These birds frequent backyard feeders, showing particular fondness for thistle and sunflower seeds.
A pair of goldfinches has been visiting our feeder all summer.
