Description

I am not so sure this is a juvenile getting fed by It’s father. American goldfinches just shot started showing up my new lesson a week ago so it seems as if it is too soon for Any mating to occur. But I like the shot. Fortune the roof of a home in the past which is the brown area and I don’t have any way of really removing it. any thoughts?

Cute interaction shot. Excellent detail and handling of the colors. Nice perch as well. I like the second shot as the closer look has more impact. The background seems adequately blurred and the brown doesn’t bother me. I might, though, remove the yellow in the LLC.

Hi David, I like the close up shots as well. I’d guess this is male adult feeding female adult. The BG doesn’t bother me on any of these. Nice behavioral catch.

Nice interaction, David. This is a male and female. The trick for differentiating female from juvenile is the wing bars. The juvenile’s are a buffy brown color rather than white. The juveniles won’t be around for quite some time as it is still early for courtship in this species, so these two are getting a bit of a headstart. I do like the tight crop of the third version.

Hi David
Number three is my pick.
