I bought a sock feeder today and about 10 of these guys showed up 2 hours after I put it up. At least they land on the branches before they hit the sock.

Looks like a Mizzou fan with the Black and Gold. Great capture per usual Gregg. Sock it to them. The feed that is.

Good job with this Gold Finch Gregg. Love the bright yellow color that the male of this species has....and wears it so proudly :)

I have several at my tube feeder......they are chatty characters and make music in my kitchen when the deck doors are open!
thanks for sharing this with me :=)

Do you have a license to be running the bird sanctuary that you obviously have? Beautiful bird.

~ Superb shot Gregg! They are the state bird of my home state NJ but I only saw them once on fading zinnias eating the seeds I assume. I read they can winter in FL so I'm still hoping to see them someday again, lol. Thanks for sharing!
