Conference of the Birds
Very early in the morning, these four goldfinches were perched on top of the feeder pole waiting for someone to put out their breakfast! It seems to be a family with Mom on the right, then a juvenile, then Dad, and then another young one on the left. The low sun rays from the early day light illuminated the group while keeping the background trees in darkness.

This lovely little goldfinch just seemed to fit on an Easter card. They stay here in upstate New York all year round but change their colors with the season. In the winter, they are a drab olive brown. During spring they begin to turn a pale yellow. By summer, they are a brilliant yellow shining through the trees. As autumn turns to winter, the colors fade again.

Some winters a huge flock of redpolls arrive in our neck of the woods in upstate New York. They are such tiny, little creatures! I took these photos out the window during a snow storm and had a bit of fun devising this card with two redpolls dreaming of spring.

Pine Siskins sometimes stay here in upstate New York during the winter. They tend to hang out with the goldfinches. I captured this little fellow seemingly dancing for joy!
