American Goldfinch

American Goldfinch

 

They wear gold and black

And celebrate every spring

At our gazebo feeder

With the songs that they sing

 

The contrast of their colors

Really is a sight

With a sports jacket yellow gold

And a cap as black as night

 

In their shiny threads

They make their little calls

With the little feeder

Attracting one and all

 

They gather at the seeds

And husk them all the time

In their sporty coats

With thanks that times are fine

          Birds give us so much for which to be thankful and this piece says it all when we watch them feeding.A lovely tribute the the American Goldfinch.
