Clue: we are in the great Pacific Northwet. And no, that's not a typo.
Taken thru my front window with the new D5100 and 18-55 kit lens, tripod, remote.

American Goldfinch, Male. This bird appears to still be molting into breeding plumage. Females are duller and do not have the black on the forehead.

That sounds about right. This one is usually seen with a similar bird with slightly duller yellow color.
Thanks.
It looks like a meadow lark But I'm not sure go to whatbird.com they will tell you
yes, a yellow salt and pepper winged thingie. Just joking, no I do not, but could be a Warbler. my guess.

It is a Gold Finch and yes it has been wet in the Pacific Northwest.
Nice Pictures :)
Its a "Yellow Bellied Bird"
Good capture! You don't see those naked legged, zebra winged, yellow backed seed snackers too often. Especially with the optional black spot on the forehead....

they turn olive-green in winter and eat so much at my feeder they can't fly. My neighbors cat says they taste like chicken.
Looks like a goldfinch ...which is common in MI. Nice.
Looks like an Am. Goldfinch
WELL ... What is the yellow bird, did you find out for sure?
Was it a Meadowlark or a Goldfinch
