The Common Redpolls have definitely gone. I haven't seen a one in a few days. Now that they are no longer hogging the feeders, the other small birds are venturing back. That includes this lovely Goldfinch pair, sampling the sunflowers. The male is in all of his mating glory, all the better to impress his trim and tidy little mate.

I'm jealous about your Goldfinch changing now. But then you're in the south. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
I'd bet those goldfinches are glad to see the back end feathers of those pesky red polls! tee hee.
Hi Lousie....
I love gold finches...especially this time of year they males are so bright. I bought some special finch food and for once the advertisment is correct they love it.
We are sorry to be late but since Mom retired she dedicates Weds. to taking her parents on errands...she just got home

Oh, I love my goldfinches...as a matter of fact, they are the state bird for Washington. I don't think I will see them though when we move to New Mexico.
he needs a bit more fluffanating around the edges
but for sure Spring is here.
Sandy,
yes Am Goldfinch are found in New Mexico in winter
you might also find Lawrence and Lesser Goldfinch
and enjoy puzzling them apart.
I need to put feed out so I can start seeing those bright guys around my place!

Pretty! We are supposed to have them in our state, but I don't recall seeing them. They'd look great with our bright blue birds!
I love goldfinches but we see them only once a year or so. Thanks for a peek!
It's lovely to see them dressed in brilliant yellow again, isn't it? I imagine you'll miss your redpolls, but not their restaurant bill!
I love the goldfinches! One of my favorites, and I welcome them back each summer. It will be a few more weeks before we see any at home though.
Cute couple or what!
We miss the birds here due to 'rodent' problem!
Those are such pretty birds. I'm catching up and missing your posts. Is everything OK?--Inger
