Bird I.D., Anyone?

Jun 13, 2009 20:43

I'm looking for a little help with a bird I.D. (I'm looking at you, ka_crow and sara_merry99).

Spotted this beautiful little yellow and black bird on some large thistles outside of the diner where we ate breakfast this morning in suburban Philadelphia. The thistles were about as tall as me, if that helps.

( What sort of bird is this? )

photos, animals

From the image you give and the description I found, this appears to be an American Goldfinch

From the description you found, that appears to be right. Thanks!

I'm glad I'm tracking my food by taking photos, because I actually had my camera with me to get the shot.

Good call! I wouldn't have know to look for that. He's a pretty boy!

That's weird! I just logged on to do a search of that bird as I saw one in my backyard this morning and did not know what it was...
