Nice colors, our Goldfinches up here in Delaware are still in winter colors, they've been here all winter. We have 4 finch feed socks out and there are usually 6-8 on each sock with another 20-30 in the trees waiting their turn. Fun to watch.

Beautiful shot. I think this might be a Pine Warbler and not an American Goldfinch.

Thanks, Ron! As you can see from previous posts, it's actually a pine warbler. It's the first time I've seen one (and now I can recognize it) in our yard.

Thanks, Saleavitt10! Yes, I posted earlier in the thread a photo of the full bird, and you're right, it is a pine warbler.

Great shot!!!👍
However, this is not a Goldfinch, it's a warbler. Probably a Pine Warbler. It's still a great shot.
