Lesser Goldfinch

Lesser Goldfinch 

Spinus psaltria 

I spotted this guy in my backyard. Never seen one before. He got pretty close to me, but I was too slow to get a super close up shot of him unfortunately.  

Traits Include:

  • Males are a bright yellow.
  • Black forehead.
  • Black to dark green back.   
  • Very small size (smaller than the American goldfinch. 


Locations:



 He wasn't the most cooperative bird i'm afraid...

A little camera shy perhaps..
