The Goldfinch is such a gorgeous bird. Sometimes you can see that they know it, too. These beautifully colored finches visit my house from late winter to early spring and I try to get as many photos that I can.
One of the most striking characteristics of these birds, as shared by other finches, is the way they fly through the air. They dip and rise, dip and rise their way to their destination, usually a tree on the other side of our property.
Fun to watch, "funner" to paint.
