I saw an American Goldfinch outside my window this morning in his full Spring plumage. They're not rare or anything, but it's the first time I've ever seen one, I think, and certainly a lovely sight, all bright and yellow!

They are pretty! They're a bit more drab during the autumn and winter.

They look a bit more like ours, there.
