A male American Goldfinch with bright yellow body feathers, a black forehead, and black tail and wings with white patches, perched on a brown cattail out in the marsh and surrounded by green reeds. Seen during the summer at Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Concord, Massachusetts.
Today's Alt #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Yellow - a bird with yellow in its plumage. This male #AmericanGoldfinch in his bright summer plumage stood out against the green reeds in the marsh (Concord, Mass. - 7/11/25) 😍💛

The image shows a small brown bird with a bit of yellow on the throat and white wing bars. This is an American Goldfinch, a small finch that we see year-round here in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. The American Goldfinch diet is dominated by seeds, including those from thistle, sunflowers, asters, grasses, and trees. It generally forages while perched on the plant and will hang upside down from branches or thistle heads to reach seeds. American Goldfinches readily come to winter feeders, where they are sometimes seen of flocks of 200 or more. They come to most kinds of feeders (including hopper, platform, and hanging feeders) and are also seen feeding on the ground below feeders.
The Alt #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Eating. How about this #AmericanGoldfinch eating sunflower seeds on our deck? wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-w...

We'll sing for our supper, but only after we've eaten it.

"A small goldfinch hangs in the air as if suspended between one heartbeat and the next. The image is soft‑focused, giving the scene a gentle, dreamlike quality, but the bird’s form is still clear enough to feel its motion. Its wings are lifted in a half‑open sweep, each feather blurred just slightly, suggesting the quick, light rhythm of flight. The goldfinch’s body glows with warm yellow tones washed with soft browns, and its pale underside catches the light like a muted flash. Its tiny legs are tucked neatly beneath it, giving the impression of effortless lift. Behind the bird, the world dissolves into a smooth haze of color, so the goldfinch seems to float alone in a quiet pocket of air. The overall feeling is one of grace, lightness, and the fleeting beauty of a moment almost too quick for the eye to catch." - Microsoft Copilot

This soft‑focused image of an American goldfinch in midair is actually a photo bomb. ...

American Goldfinch
I usually see them in flocks of 10-20... but today this single one turned up for about 5 minutes.
Probably scouting out the location to see if there were any humans around.

A male American Goldfinch in his winter plumage with a buffy breast and belly, brown head, yellow near the face, brownish-olive back, and black wings with white wing bars. He was perched on a reddish-brown branch of a tree, with more branches and the trunk of the tree in the background. Seen at Stony Brook WS in Norfolk, Massachusetts.

A short exposure - stop motion view of an American Goldfinch leaving its perch just as it’s hopped off a little branch. Although this is a rear view of our subject it’s still quite pretty, showing clean and subtlety graduated under plumage, and tiny open feet.
A glimpse at departure.

Five American Goldfinches gather on a feeder. One lifts its wings, strikes a pose, and appears to squawk at the others.

Alan's @alan678.bsky.social theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #OpenBeak, birds with beaks open, the Alt theme is #OpenWings, birds with wings out. This #AmericanGoldfinch fits both of those. It's a exciting day when the feeders ore busy.

Male and female birds perched on snag that was in pond; looking in opposite directions
I hadn't thought of them as #ShortLeggedBirds but seeing this photo, I think they qualify for today's #BirdOfTheDay - many thanks go Rob and Alan for continuing this daily challenge; it is such fun!

One of about a dozen American Goldfinches that came into my back yard Birch trees for a visit. I watched them through my dirty kitchen window and thought I would take a photo before heading outside. I'm glad I did since they had all flown away by the time I went outside.
