When I parked my car to go to Kissena Park, I spotted these goldfinch enjoying some sunflower seeds in someone's garden. I set up and had fun photographing them before heading to the park.

Just beautiful Morris! My coneflowers have gone to seed and that brings these beautiful birds pecking for the seeds! They are a true delight!
Great detail and color!

Wonderful! Wish these beauties frequented our parts.Don't know why it was chosen as the WA state bird??
The Baltimore Oriole is Maryland's State bird but I have only seen 1 in my 70 years here.

Wonderful photographs of a beautiful bird, Morris. #1 and #6 are definitely my preferred shots. Here where I shoot in the Dundas Urquhart Butterfly Garden the Goldfinch and Chipmunks compete for the Coneflower seed pods.

I used to see many Baltimore Orioles yet they have become rather scarce in NYC. The Orchard Oriole is much more common.
