Happy wild Wednesday! We're enjoying some lovely cool weather here in Maryland and the little birds seem especially happy. I hope these two bright yellow finches make you smile.

Someone told me that they're not really called yellow finches but are truly golden finches. I haven't looked it up yet but I imagine either name is ok. To me, they look more yellow than golden.

I love their bright yellow color but like their distinct white and black markings too.

It's nice to see them enjoying our feeders and flitting about our rose of Sharon bushes.

Thank you for visiting! May God bless our feathered friends and may He bless you too!

Yellow Finch Feeding on Black Eyed Susan Flowers for Wild Wednesday

Find the yellow finch

Happy wild Wednesday everyone! I was blessed to see this yellow finch feeding on one of our black eyed Susan plants. Can you find the finch in the overview photo above? What first caught my eye was the bird's movement. It took me a bit to realize it was a bird in the blooms. Close up photos are below. PS If you're viewing this directly on my blog you should be able to click any of the images to bring up a larger slideshow version of them all.

I love the little legs and claws on the yellow finch.

This bush is like yellow finch camouflage.

 The bird was just pausing between munches but I think of this as a peek-a-boo shot.

Here you can see the yellow finch digging for seeds. Hope you enjoyed this week's wild Wednesday photos! May God bless you!
