Yellow feathered birds for Mellow Yellow Monday




Yesterday was a bonus day for watching birds from my window. It is not often that we have Evening Grosbeaks visiting, but yesterday we had two males. This is such a colourful handsome bird.
shown above is its back view and below a striking portrait pose. Look at its huge beak! They love to find sunflower seeds in Bird Alley. Their big beak is so useful. "crunch!"





And this bright yellow male Goldfinch above gives wondeful decoration to my yard. I call them 'lemon drops' . Our yard is full of them! See how full the feeder of niger seed is of them in the photo below. I mean it is full of Goldfinch, not niger seed as it now almost empty!
Time for a refill today.

And another little surprise bird visitor yesterday sporting a wings decorated with yellow slashes of colour, a Pine Siskin. I haven't seen this species at our feeders for quite a while now. It was a very welcome hungry visitor. Got pictures with yellow? Why not show them on Mellow Yellow Monday.http://mellowyellowmonday.blogspot.com/ To link to this meme, please scroll down the right hand side of this page until you come to the mellow yellow icon.
