Goldfinch Wildflowers - a photo on Flickriver

"Goldfinch Wildflowers" by Patti Deters. An American goldfinch (Spinus tristis) perches on a thin branch of a bee balm (Monarda) stem amidst a field of other wildflowers and plants. The setting is a natural, outdoor environment where flora is in full bloom. Yellow goldfinch birds love this type of environment which produces plenty of flower seeds while providing hiding spots and camouflage while they forage for food. These small songbirds are also sociable and add a beautiful bright spot of color among other backyard birds.
