...while they raise a second brood
Our backyard has no American Goldfinches (Spinus tristis) at the feeders this week. We are in a part of Canada where this 'American Canary' ( as it is nicknamed by many for its complex warbled singing), is busy raising a second brood of the summer. The two broods normally occur between July and September. The photo below shows how bountiful and colourful they are for half the year before turning a somewhat drabber colour during the winter. They are my favourite bird at the feeders.
Please comment if you wish.
