European Goldfinch

Unexpected visitor

We saw a tip on the Illinois Birding Network Facebook page that a European goldfinch was spotted in a local park two minutes from our home. Frantically drove over with my daughter and we both enjoyed watching it feed and sun itself.

Great pic of the Euro Goldfinch! That is one rarity that we missed this fall – glad you got such a good pic of it.
