Stephen > The goldfinches have been few and far between this year probably because they are finding enough natural seed in the countryside so they don't have to bother with coming to my feeders. I did find this one along with a few of its friends on this morning.  Midlothian, Texas, January 2010.
Stephen > This particular house finch was really chowing down on the seeds of this thistle plant.  Midlotihian, Texas, May 2009
Stephen > I like the way the thistle seeds are gently falling from the plant as the house finch feeds.  Midlothian, Texas, May 2009
Stephen > During the Great Backyard Bird Count of 2009, I was able to sneak up on this American Goldfinch in my backyard.  He had very many friends with him too.  The goldfinches were some of the most numerous in my yard the weekend of the count.  Midlothian, Texas, February 2009
Stephen > I caught this American goldfinch sort of puffed up on this cool winter's day.  Midlothian, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > After feeding at one of my feeders, this American goldfinch made a quick leap to a nearby branch then looked back to see if I had removed myself and my gear from the area.  To its chagrin, I stayed put.  Hey, it's my yard!  :-)  Midlothian, Texas, January 2009
