American Goldfinch

Carduelis tristis

This is a small, but very active bird. Often found flying through the air with a very distinct flight pattern. Comes in to feeders with small seeds. Can be found in the wild feeding on things like wild thistle.

Very common throughout the entire United States.

Notes:

These little guys are tough to get pictures of. I have seen them flying around my home a lot throughout the summer time.
