American Goldfinch Takes Off
It's been much harder to shoot goldfinch at Cherry Creek State Park this year. Apparently the park did a massive week killing project this year, killing off most of the large thistle groups. There a few isolated thistle plants, which the finch are eating, but it's less likely to get them feeding and fighting and the locations are further from the roads.
This guy was feeding on a mix of prairie grass hulls and some blackeyed Susans.
