American Goldfinch

The common wisdom around here is that at least some of this species winters over here, but we've never had them at our feeders in the winter despite the large numbers we have every summer.  Therefore, I was quite surprised to see this juvenile on our sunflower feeder a few days ago.  While it gave many opportunities to photograph it on the feeder, it just gave me one frame on a decent perch, and this was it.  I think the pose could have been a bit better, but I do love the bg.
