Friday Feathers
The American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis) is a perky yellow bird with a black patch on its forehead, black tail covering a white rump. There is a dramatic color change to this bird during winter, as the bright yellow becomes dull olive yellow.
Late summer nester, using silky down from wild thistle for its nest. Appears roller-coaster-like in flight and twitters during flight. Frequently called Wild Canary.
