American Goldfinch

Still jet lagged from Japan, after house cleaning at 3am, Quincy and I took a walk around South Pond. Yesterday I noted a sign that mentioned the American Goldfinch and how common it was, and I thought to myself "hmm I haven't seen one yet". Low and behold this morning one flies right in front of us. It really is a striking bird, bright yellow and dark black. The little guy made my day. Sometimes you have to really wonder how the world works in mysterious ways! Afterwards, Quincy was a big hit at Green City Market. He kept lying down at every vendor, winning over their hearts.

Found on Pinterest, wish I could have taken this photo!
