A bright yellow (male) American Goldfinch sits on a bull thistle with thistle down in its beak. A bee with obvious pollen basket is getting nectar from a purple bull thistle in the background
Side view of an American Goldfinch sitting on a bull thistle that's gone to seed. The thistle down forms a comical cone on its beak
There's a reason American Goldfinches are called "thistle birds"! As #granivores, their main food source is seeds; the #bullthistle provides these and also thistle down for their nests right at the time that they are breeding (now!)

#Cirsiumvulgare, the #spearthistle, #bullthistle, or #commonthistle, native throughout most of Europe. It is also naturalised in North America, Africa, and Australia and is an #invasiveweed in several regions. It is the national flower of Scotland. But that #bee though? And a cute little #ladybug?

As summer fades, the Bull Thistle begins to go to seed, signaling the season's end. Nature's gentle reminder that change is in the air 🍂
What signals do you notice that tell you the season is changing?
