American Goldfinch. 5/13/15 (Wolf. Oesterreich)
While talking with Fritz and Susan Franzen by the savannah woods,
Susan stated there was an American Goldfinch behind me. I replied that
she was right, because I could hear them singing. She reiterated that
it was right there, on the ground. I turned around and spotted the male
perched on a small branch, just inches off the ground. The goldfinch
allowed me to approach within a couple of feet. The bird never flew
off, quite content to stay on his perch. Note the dirt on his bill.
