Lloyd and I were out by the vegetable garden this evening and we noticed the young American Goldfinches were taking their fledgling flights around the backyard :) We didn't even realise our Goldfinches had had babies in our woods this year! We knew they had nestes here and were feeding at our feeders every morning, but we hadn't seen their babies at all - but tonight we saw four or five babies flying by the garden shed and on the workshop roof. a mix of male and femal babies :)
Very cute! I wonder if I will be able to get pictures before they leave for the winter?
And I wonder if any of them will return next year?
