I finally got our Goldfinches, at least one bird, to perch on my tree and this stick rather than the feeder. Hope to get a few more shots after they finished changing their spring clothes.

Very nice, Mike.:thumb

Maybe they do not have their full color yet....but they look different than the American Goldfinches around here.:dunno

Great captures, really like the second, just perfect. One of my favorite song birds.

I'm still dialing in my set-up, but I'm starting to get a 'couple' of great shots....if I do say so myself! :wink

Thanks for looking!
