A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Yellow bird with black wings and tail. Flies in an interesting motion; flaps a bit then coasts a bit in a long wave pattern. Likes sunflower seeds, apparently!
Urban vegetable garden.
Been here 5 years and never seen one of these before!
Don't cut your sunflowers. Goldfiinches LOVE dried sunflowers still in the sunflower flower head. They might be migrating because I do not usually see them either in Altanta, GA. I have been here 7 years and saw these within the past 2 weeks.
You can feed them seed in a feeder, but they love my sunflowers too.
