Goldfinches in Taylor Park, Burnaby, BC
So I’m lugging the big lens on a south Burnaby walk, and good thing I did! I ran into a woman in Taylor Park who asked if I knew what the “yellow” birds were.
I hadn’t seen any yellow birds, but said they could be American Goldfinches, as I’d shot them in that area in previous years.
About five mintues further up the trail, and bingo!
