How ironic that after returning from church, I looked out my kitchen window and to our surprise on our finch feeder was a white American Goldfinch!!! We were excited as we have never seen him before and he was here all day and again this morning. I have pics of him but not very close up pics. He was beautiful, just a tiny bit of yellow on his neck and black bars on his wing, but other than that he was all white and black eyes. We enjoy your columns and photos. We live in southeastern Pickaway County in the middle of 10 acres of woodlands. Needless to say we have lots of birds and other animals. Thanks for your articles!
