Pretty Gold Finch perches on a small angled twig with a green textured background that has soft bokeh in white and yellow and a spot of red that was created by a red berry. I gave this version a wonderful and very encouraging verse from the Bible. Here is a link to a Third Day song that fits the verse, I hope you will listen and be blessed by it as I have been...................http://youtu.be/1pn6Ry46KOc.....................................Wonderful for any wall in your home or office or perhaps a greeting card. Many more wonderful works can be found in my various galleries, from photographs and photoart to digital creations and abstracts. Thanks for browsing, commenting and most of all for any purchases. Debbie Portwood :D...................................(This handsome little finch, the state bird of New Jersey, Iowa, and Washington, is welcome and common at feeders, where it takes primarily sunflower and nyjer. Goldfinches often flock with Pine Siskins and Common Redpolls. Spring males are brilliant yellow and shiny black with a bit of white. Females and all winter birds are more dull but identifiable by their conical bill; pointed, notched tail; wingbars; and lack of streaking. During molts they look bizarrely patchy. Size & Shape = A small finch with a short, conical bill and a small, head, long wings, and short, notched tail.Color Pattern = Adult males in spring and early summer are bright yellow with black forehead, black wings with white markings, and white patches both above and beneath the tail. Adult females are duller yellow beneath, olive above. Winter birds are drab, unstreaked brown, with blackish wings and two pale wingbars.Behavior These are active and acrobatic little finches that cling to weeds and seed socks, and sometimes mill about in large numbers at feeders or on the ground beneath them. Goldfinches fly with a bouncy, undulating pattern and often call in flight, drawing attention to themselves. Habitat - The goldfinch�s main natural habitats are weedy fields and floodplains, where plants such as thistles and asters are common. They�re also found in cultivated areas, roadsides, orchards, and backyards. American Goldfinches can be found at feeders any time of year, but most abundantly during winter.
