Lesser Goldfinch?

I believe this is a male Lesser Goldfinch.  I have never seen this bird in my area previously.  According to Sibley and iBird this is out of the normal range; the northern limit being about 150 miles south of my present location in Olympia.  It has been hanging out at my feeders for 2 days.  The female is also here although it is difficult to distinguish from the American Goldfinch in breeding plumage.  I will post 2 images here of the male and one of the female.  If it sticks around, I will post a better image (nice head turn and not on a stick...) in the avian gallery.

Here is what may be the female Lesser GF or an American Goldfinch female in breeding plumage.  The male and female are hanging out together.  Sorry about the shadows.  In any case, I have never seen this olive drab plumage on a American Goldfinch in my area.

I would agree.  And a nice photo as well.  According to a couple of charts I have the northernmost point in their range is Vancouver; so definitely a rarity in Olympia. I guess this would be reportable, though not sure where.

Looks just like the Lesser Goldfinches that I have at my thistle feeders every day in my backyard.  That is what these are.

My resources show the northern limit around Newport OR

Hi David.  The male is definitely a Lesser.  I'd guess ghe female is an American, but I'm not sure.  The American's don't normally arrive paired up, but start courting significantly later.  We had one of these show up here a few years ago, so it's not unknown for one to drift this way.
