Lesser Goldfinch (Carduelis psaltria)

Ranked #19,203 in Pets & Animals, #587,124 overall

American Lesser Goldfinch

Lesser Goldfinches are common around my birdbath, fishpond, water attraction area.

sometimes there will be 40 or 50 of them, just a great big ol little yellow bird party in full swing, most times it is a more cosmopolitan showing with many differant birds attending, towhees, lesser gold finches and hummingbirds are the usual suspects. but a visit by nuthatches, chickadees, scrubjays, wrens, swallows, bluebirds, mockingbirds, and any number of others is not unusual.
even the occasional kingfisher, or green heron has been noticed,
this list got bigger recently and is now Including a bald eagle just a couple weeks ago.
