Backyard Birds -- 17/18

I don't want to finish the year without including several of my favorite birds.  Needless to say, this first photo was taken last spring when things were very green and the Goldfinches were very yellow.  I took several photos of the American Goldfinches this past week, but with their winter coats they are just not the same so I decided to use this one.


Perhaps the commonest bird around here (and everywhere else!) of course is the American Robin. This picture I shot on the IU campus where there were probably a dozen Robins working on the berries in one of the flowering trees.

There are one or two others that I really should have included in my backyard birds series but they have been uncooperative (camera shy!) so far.
