 It's Friday!  TGIF!  I don't usually take or share birds on bird feeder images but I got this one at my in-law and really liked it.  I especially liked it for the warm bokeh and Friday's Are Bokehlicious!  This is a Goldfinch enjoying some seed at one of my in-law's feeders with their Ornamental Pear tree's leaves providing the bokeh.

I was able to capture this Goldfinch couple together this weekend.  It's the first time I have captured a male and female together like this.  It clearly shows how much more vibrant the male is.  The female is duller for safety but still, kind of stinks that the females have to be the not as beautiful of the two.  😏

We are heading back into winter so I thought this image was appropriate.  I captured this in December at the in-laws home during a snowfall.  A few Bluebirds and a couple Finches enjoying a drink.  I liked the Bluebird flying in on the left.

So, some surprise rains yesterday when we really didn't need them.  Weird.  We wish for rain and then get too much.  :-)  My image today is one I captured very late January of this year of a Goldfinch taking off from a branch of the Birch Tree.  I named this one Lift Off. 😄  Because of the warm winter this Finch already was getting back some of it's bright gold color.  I was pleased to capture this unusual pose in focus as well.

This is an older image today because it fit in well for Bird Poker on Google +.  I captured this Goldfinch in my in-law's Ornamental Pear tree.  I thought it was looking rather frazzled due to the fact that it's bright yellow feathers were coming in.

Happy Spring!  We finally made it officially!  Today is supposed to be nice and warm as well so it's definitely Spring like.  My image for today is of a Goldfinch looking quite cute and like it's saying hello that I captured yesterday.  It appears to be a male that is changing back into his bright yellow colors now that Spring is here.

Well, I was invited to a 7 day Wildlife Challenge over on Google+ a few weeks ago and never got started.  I thought I would finally get to it, especially since I was given a nice compliment from the person who invited me to do it.  My first image I got this past week after it snowed on Monday.  This Goldfinch in winter plumage was pecking around on the deck railing in the snow and looked rather cute.
