Identification - This finch is about the size of a sparrow. The breeding male is the only bright yellow bird with black wings, tail, and forehead. Each wing has two white bars. It has a bouncy up and down flight.
Morsels - The American Goldfinch nests much later than most songbirds, from July to September. Nesting occurs at the same time that many of the goldfinch's favorite foods such as thistles, sunflowers, dandelions, and daisies come into seed. This 'crop' can account for almost all of the American Goldfinch's diet at that time. A family of noisy young goldfinches being fed by their parents among the late summer roadside thistles is a common sight in many parts of North America.
