It is always a delight to see a new bird at the bird feeder. I have mostly sparrows year round so it was a treat to see this brightl canary yellow colored bird which is called American Goldfinch. The yellow and black color is specific to the breeding males.
Goldfinches are commonly found in weedy fields , open flood plains, backyards and parks. They feast almost entirely on seeds from certain trees, sunflowers and grasses. They are known to be somewhat acrobatic, balancing on the seed heads of plants as they feast on the seeds.

Lovely photo of this bird…
I have heard that Goldfinchs do sing very well. The picture is great.
Thank you. I have heard so too but never actually heard them sing
I visit a place with my dog in which some Storks live. They are very beautiful and majestic. I like to visit them everyday.
Not sure I have ever seen a stork in real life. It would be great to see them
The finch in action! You caught it so busy with its seeds. Amazing!
Thank you. They are so much fun to watch
That must have made your day. Our garden is designed with birds in mind We have several fruit trees and flowering bushes. The birdbath is their main attraction. We have countless birds visiting us

I have several fruit trees, shrubs and lots of feeders, houses and a pond. I have sparrows year round but each spring and summer I get visits from different types of birds and even though they don’t stay long, it is always nice to see new birds in the yard. Thanks for the video, it is lovely.
A beautiful bird. I can only see sparrows.
I have a lot of sparrows so nice to see different birds visit
Such a gorgeous bird! Wonderful capture.
Yes it is and adds some much needed color to the backyard
Each year I see a new bird in my backyard.
I wish they would stay but nice to see them even for one day
so far this year just the usual suspects. More of them and a lot closer to humans than in the past but nothing new.
Eyes are peeled! love the picture beautiful bird!!!
Nice when different birds show up but they don’t stay around for too long
it is, i love seeing the different birds of every season!
Just this morning I saw a whole flock of birds circling the sky, very unusual in a city like ours.
Yes that would be an unusual sight. They were up to something for sure.
