Lesser Goldfinch
Finally got off work at a decent time and needed some stress release. Found a group of these beautiful little birds at the nature park.
Canon 50d sigma 100-300f4, at 263mm, f6.3 1/60th of a sec, ISO 320.

Like the pose you caught this one in. Nice and sharp too. Wish there was a catchlight in the eye, but you probably do to.

Very nice Wade, love the comp and head turn.... wonderful perch and BG!

Another great shot! You are a good spotter, Wade. Nice catch of the pose and perch; what a colorful, cheerful looking bird to see in winter.

Very nice! This location is paying off on goldfinch. I prefer your second post to this one, the black cap is nicer on that one, but this is great too.
