This beautiful American Goldfinch is beginning to change as spring begins.
You can see hints of brilliant yellow splotches emerging.
His beak is beginning to turn a bright orange as well.
Such a handsome little fellow.

I am really looking forward to summer, sunflowers and Goldfinch.
Seeing the Spring Goldfinch has me thinking about Spring planting.
In a few weeks it will be time to sow a few sunflower seeds.
