Bird Ramblings - Goldfinches

It's that time of year when American Goldfinches are filling up on Sunflower seeds from the Community Garden adjacent to the Village Apartments here at Dallas Retirement Village. They are a common species here at DRV especially in early September when they can easily be seen in large number when the Sunflowers mature. This Goldfinch looks a little ragged but is simply molting into its non-breeding plumage.
