Finally, A Goldfinch in Bird Alley!

One of the male Goldfinch looked a bit bedraggled! It appeared to have a moulting black cap on its head.

 It has been a long time since I have seen a Goldfinch in our feeder area.  This morning I saw two or
three fly in and a couple of males 

                                                                                            and a female or so.

 Goldfinch were not the only surprise visitors!
  We have a few White-throated Sparrows in Bird Alley!  What a handsome bird a White-throated Sparrow is! with its bright yellow lores and striped head and its delicate white bib on its upper breast!We were very happy to see these sparrows arrive!
