The Goldfinch

Today I received an extraordinary birthday present. I looked out the sliding glass door and there, perched on my very old feeder with brand-new seed was a gorgeous yellow goldfinch and his little lady. Goldfinches are very timid, sweet birds, and we rarely see them in our yard. I was delighted with the unexpected treat.
You know, Kansas has some colorful birds. With the ordinary robin and yellow meadowlark, add the red cardinal, the bluejay, and the gorgeous goldfinch, and the entire color wheel appears. And to think . . . we have had them all in our backyard, even today!
