Baby goldfinch


We were playing cards on our patio last night and Bill heard this guy rustling around in the ivy. We played with him a bit, named him Goldilocks and then he flew, kinda, back down into the ivy. A little while later, his mom came and called to him, he announced himself and then his mom flew down to give him a snack. Then his mom left and he clammored to the top of an ivy leaf and sat there patiently for half an hour. We placed him on a tree branch before we went to bed because there are some chipmunks that frequent the ivy and might like to eat him. This morning he was still in the spot we put him and we saw his mom feeding a sibling in a nearby tree.

He's really much cuter than the photo.
