A couple weeks ago, a flash of yellow landed in a tree nearby.. First thought was it was *too* early for any Goldfinches to be that color.. I was right..!<br /><br />The couple of pics I could grab aren't great, sure don't do the bird justice for how yellow it was.. By the way, looking at what you have here, I'd say the one here may have been a female.. The mask lacking was one thing that was helping throw off my initial ID..<br /><br />Anyway, thanks again.. Tickled your post was here to confirm in *my* Mind I saw what I thunk I saw = a very yellow red bird.. Am <i>kvelling</i>..! :))<br /><br />PS..
