American Goldfinch in Summer and Winter Plumage

The three photographs below show the difference in plumage of the American Goldfinch from summer to winter. The finch on the left is in Summer plumage and the two other photos show the finch in winter plumage. Just a quick note, if you have bird feeders in the winter  in Fredericton chances are you will have the American Goldfinches visiting the feeders.
