    WOW what beautiful birds your goldfinches are. Totally different to the goldfinches we have here in the UK.

    Really beautiful little birds, aren't they? Great shots. I didn't know they get a winter coat. What do they look like with that?

    Adorable goldfinches, both the American ones and the British ones. :D We haven't got those here. Wish we did, as they're so lovely.
