Female goldfinch (Spinus tristus)
A goldfinch pair is often at our sunflower feeder. They always know when the feeder has been refilled so I suspect they hide out in one of our spruce trees. The female seems to be wondering "Are you looking at me?" Or perhaps she dropped a seed and is watching it fall.
Male goldfinch
The male here is hanging on to the wire above the feeder, a seed in his mouth.
I am connecting to Stewart M's Wild Bird Wednesday HERE
