American Goldfinch


Here's another species I see all over Toronto in the summertime that most people (I think) never notice because they think every bird flying by must be a pigeon or sparrow. If you have a fair-sized backyard I guarantee goldfinches pass through from time to time.

This is a male. The females are also yellow but a duller shade. Look for goldfinches especially in the Don Valley river area.
