Nonbreeding American Goldfinch fueling up during a snow storm. I love bundling up on a cold day to photograph adorable creatures like this! To me, the snow just makes the experience more exciting, daring, and fun!

The American goldfinch, also known as the eastern goldfinch or "lightning bird," is a small North American bird in the finch family. It is migratory, ranging from mid-Alberta to North Carolina during the breeding season, and from just south of the Canadian border to Mexico during the winter.
