Carduelis tristis
Small yellow bird. Seemed to be enthralled with it's own reflection. Came back many times to my van mirrors even after day and when I would just get home and be in the van.

you're welkome.. Keep-em coming! :-)
Hi, thanks! Thought it was some sort of wild canary.
I agree, a bright female American Goldfinch
Allthough I think this is just a female of the species here..
Its definately a goldfinch.. I dont have a photo of it, but we had a similar type of plumage on one of the birds last season, where purple finch type of colors (shades of brown, cinnammon and red) was seen on a goldfinch.. peculiar to say the least.. Maybe the inter-bread somehow..
looks like an american goldfinch,but its missing the black on the head..?
From the szize and the shape of the pecker I would say it's a sort of canary.
The Yellow-fronted Canary has to much dark at the back...
