American Golfinch on Thistle

[missyinmuskoka]

Did you know that goldfinches are strict vegetarians, only eating the odd insect inadvertently? Their favorite foods are the seeds of asters, sunflowers and thistles, as well as those of alder, birch and elm trees

I did not know that. Nice details in the image Missy -

Very nice shot

Beautifully captured Missy. Lovely sharp detail, and like that you caught him with the Thistle-seed in his beak.

I agree. Lovely combination of colour too.
