Dear C-Birders,
Anyone beginning to notice a gradual brightening of goldfinch feathers? I saw one male today with bright yellow patches on his back. I know individual birds molt at different times, but I wasn't expecting this until later in the season.

p.s. Those pretty creatures can consume a small fortune in thistle during the cold weather!
