From strip mining area


This was taken a few years ago, but I don't think I have ever published it. Goldfinches can sure get busy when they find something they like.  This was before the land was being farmed.

  3. I love the look of thistle and I've always like goldfinches so what could be better than have a picture with both of them in it.

  11. Oh, I miss these yellow birds. I used to see them in my hometown, but since moving to the mountains, I haven't seen one yet. I did have a woodpecker visit me recently though. That is a truly nice photo, Rose.
