American Goldfinch

 

 “In winter, you fed the birds; and in summer, do the same thing! In winter, you gave them bread; and in summer, give them water!” 

~Mehmet Murat ildan 

 

(Female American Goldfinch)

I saw some happy little American Goldfinch playing in a puddle the other day, and to tell you the truth, it's all I wanted to do for the remainder of that particular day. They were lovely. The male never left the female's side. He never strayed more then a foot or so away from her. And she spent most of her time, bathing in the cool water, and fluffing herself up. She was gorgeous, and clearly she was about to go out on the town with her love... Mr. Goldfinch. Imagine that, love is all around.
