Thanks Jane. I'm glad you enjoy it. These finches are very difficult to catch for photo op. I can't take credit for this photo, but just wanted to demonstrate how stunning they are.

you succeeded in my books thank you.

awesome! :)

wow,Paul..what a lovely colourful fellow he is ..much more so than ours..Love his summer plumage,and even Olive Green for winter is nice..thank you for sharing,and responding to my request..:o)

oh you're welcome Sandra. I'm glad you like it. They are special. They are really cute when they bob up and down as they fly. This is why I plant sunflowers in my garden. Thank You :)

Hi Paul ... Super pic :o)

Thank You :)

Handsom fellow. Very nice picture Bathgate..

I'm glad you like it Klahanie. In the summer I always have sunflowers growing up to my window so I can watch them while eating breakfast. Very cool!

:-)

Love this photo ... gone on to my Favourites ... :o)

Such wonderful colouring

Thanks Shirley - They are quite striking

Aren't they fantastic Thrupennybil? It's always a treat to see them in my garden. They love sunflowers so I make sure I have them growing.

They certainly are and fit their name too gold. The most wild coloured bird we have here in the uk is the Kingfisher a sight to see, when its sitting on the edge of a tiny branch and then dives into the little river.

Oh wow I thought our goldfinches were pretty but compared to these!!!!!!, gone on my favourites too :-)

They are lookers, Simbad, that's for sure. You can't help but smile when you see them.

Beautiful !

Thank You Mossy!

Arent they songbirds? I remember as a child a little old lady had some in a big aviary with Canary's. Those were the days when you could keep native animals..1964 or so.

They do have a high pitched mating call, almost like a canary, but not quite the range. It's still enjoyable to hear.
