I like the subtle winter plumage of these birds so thought I would share. This one visited my backyard set up. Attracted by sunflower seeds.

Oh I do, too. They’re gorgeous all year, but the winter feathers have some element of burnishing or smoldering that the bright breeding colors don’t have. I love the wing bars and the tack sharp feathers. BG looks fabulous, too. What a little beauty!
Beautiful, Allen. Looks like a first year bird to my eye. One of my favorite bird plumages. While they say we have them overwintering here, we see very few compared to the summer numbers.
Nice image, with lovely matching colors of the bird and the lichen on the branch. If it’s a set-up indeed and you get them more often, you may wanna try for a slightly thinner branch , but other than that fine as presented to me! Best, Hans
This image comes together well with the complementary background and perch and the excellent detail in the goldfinch.
