The Finches Are Back...

These small birds are what started me taking photos of birds last year - so I thought I would dedicate a blog for their return this past week...


Lesser Goldfinches:
The Lesser Goldfinch is a small, seed-eating finch of the Southwest. It comes in two forms: a dark-backed one in Texas, and a greenish-backed one farther westward.

I love gold finch. The gold finch is Iowa's state bird. They are one of the few birds that can eat hanging upside down. We would put an upside down feeder out every year because the house finches would harass the gold finches at our regular feeder. The fun part was watching other birds try to eat from it. Great photos.
