Male Goldfinch
They feed on the thistle seeds, abundant here now. High, crooning, arching, summoning short songs. Delightful. This small painting of a Goldfinch is going down to Indianapolis next week. The birds will also be going south as soon as the thistles give up all, and they will go farther south than Indianapolis. They fly as far as Florida. Will their feeding places be recovered there after Hurricane Irma?
