Goldfinch – Lessor

Back to South Llano River State Park for some additional photos. There were several goldfinches around the park; most of them enjoying the feeders set around the blinds. They were beginning to show their breeding colors.

I can’t say why I like this photo, but I do. This little lessor goldfinch seems to be hiding under a leaf. Look close and you can see his eye. Note the dark color of the legs and the short tail.

    1. The Goldfinches usually don’t stay around our yard, but this year seemed to be an exception. It was fun seeing them here in CO. Of course we see move of them during our travels south.
