The colors in your pictures are wonderful! I think I need a new camera.... Your ducks were on vacation here in Florida on my Sunday post - are they back in Michigan yet?
Our Goldfinch are looking much less respectable for the upcoming dating season! I've caught a few on my camera out the kitchen window yesterday. They're posted today on my blog.
Wow...even though he is having a bad hair day, it still mut have been a thrill to see him at the feeder. We haven't seen any of them here. But man, are we going through the thistle with the pine siskins. I'll need to have a bottle drive or spaghetti feed fund raiser pretty soon to keep up with it. :-D The Retirement Chronicles
That's how I look first thing in the morning too! (except for the bright yellow) Now if you get a goldfinch eating out of your hand, THAT will be a coup!
Another great photo although the goldfinch told me you took the shot before she had finished her grooming. Really Shelley show a little respect....LOL Sharon
Ours are getting yellow, some of them faster than others. We have a couple whose molt is complete and they are beautiful. Others are still a bit ragged.
Great photograph. You catch the neatest expressions.
What a great shot!! They are such pretty little birds. I don't see many though. Maybe because I have too many BlueJays around? I did see one or two in their winter colors this past winter. Hope I see them again.

Excellent shot shelley. Again one of this bord than I 've never seen!!
What a beautiful bird!
Pretty shabby :)
Mine are looking the same.... soon they will be brilliant and beautiful.
Ha ha ha! He is looking a little ragged. Ours are just starting to turn yellow but are still more on the brownish side.
Great picture. Looks like the molt is about over. Hasn't seen anythng but females here so far.
Cute shot! Mine get more yellow every day, but they still look a bit unkempt.
Never fails - when you're having a real bad-feather day (or days) there's always someone around with a camera!

I don't know what happen to our Goldfinches. They didn't stay aroung long,sad to say.

The Goldfinches haven't arrived here yet. I still have a few Redpolls though. Nice shot of him peeking around the sock at you.

They look rather pitiful as they are molting, don't they? :c)
I don't even have any goldfinches yet Shelley...they are on strike because of the snow!!
You've posted a lot of beautiful photos lately. I always enjoy visiting and catching up.

Love the shot of the goldfinch. Mine look about the same.
Da Yooper finches are still pretty darn dull. But yours gives us hope!
Our male Goldfinches are molting also, Shelley. They are not the prettiest bird in the nest these days---but they will be SOON..
Great photo.
Hugs,
Betsy
mine look just like yours. kinda ratty and new feathers coming in with bare spots here and there. Nice shot!
He is bright, but not looking yet looking up to par. You captured him so well.

It just occurred to me that my comment may appear in the wrong light.
The goldfinch is shabby looking but still pretty, hence "Pretty" Shabby.
A joke gone bad.
Is that what he really said..he looks a little more ornery than that..lol
Great shot..what a look!!
Haha! Ours are in transition too, although today I saw an almost perfect summer goldfinch.

Goldfinch coloring is perfect this time of the year!
I can get to looking kinda scruffy looking just like this. Lucky no one is taking pictures of me.
Surely beautiful and wonderful looking in deed!
Selly: Very cute and well captioned.
What a great shot!! They are such pretty little birds. I don't see many though. Maybe because I have too many BlueJays around? I did see one or two in their winter colors this past winter. Hope I see them again.
No need to get your feathers all ruffled! HA!
I love the yellow of goldfinches--so pretty.
