Another Goldfinch perched and standing by, but not for long. Soon he was eating some goodies.

The new zoom was used.

Thank you in advance for your comments.

Been in business how long and you already have a waiting line?! So how long before I can get seated?! ;)

Great clarity and love how the bird looks like he's ready for some food.

He's lovely and the colors are wonderful. I don't know why I don't see any around here. I'm sure I'd get excited if I saw one so bright yellow. Beautiful capture, Sandi.

awww how sweet! you are getting some really beautiful shots of birds Sandi! We do not get any birds half as pretty as this in our gardens in the UK - usually just starlings, pigeons and if I am lucky I spot a Robin which is much smaller than the ones in the US. :)

You have struck gold with your finches this year Tigz. This might be the pick of the flock. Great closeup.
