Video of American Goldfinch Feeding in the Wild

Goldfinch Feeding on Thistle Plant

It's always fun to finding a bird in the wild and this video of an American Goldfinch is no different.

I stumbled across this male as he was feeding on wild thistle around Mary's Lake in Lawrence, Kansas.

This is one of their favorite natural seed types and why I feed them nyjer seed in the winter. Enjoy the short video
