American Goldfinch

Description:

The American Goldfinch is a small finch, 11–13 centimeters (4.3–5.1 in) long, with a wingspan of 19–22 centimeters (7.5–8.7 in). It weighs between 11–20 grams (0.39–0.71 oz).[11] The beak is small, conical, and pink for most of the year, but turns bright orange with the spring molt in both sexes.[12] (Wikipedia)

Habitat:

The American Goldfinch prefers open country where weeds thrive, such as fields, meadows, flood plains, as well as roadsides, orchards, and gardens. It may also be found in open deciduous and riparian woodlands and areas of secondary growth.[19] This habitat preference continues during the spring and autumn migrations.[12] (Wikipedia)
