We have certainly all had them and last Sunday was this poor guy's turn. It had been raining and this American Goldfinch was also molting so he didn't show off his usual great looks. These very handsome birds are easily attracted to feeders filled with thistle. The Goldfinch nesting season is later than most, with peak nesting occurring in mid to late July. This nesting adaptation is timed so that there is plenty of seed to eat and lots of soft thistle down to line their nests.

I keep checking for another set of good pictures from the big cheese, but somebody hasn't been posting lately!
