My dad and grandpa called them canaries though they weren’t. 🙂
They certainly do look like them though, don’t they! დ
What a beauty. I’m sure gold was named after this bird.
Fabulous shots, Ms. DeMille!
Smiling….Thank you Resa! დ
I gotta watch that movie again!
Hey, you could name your bird – Gloria!
So now you have taken better shots than mr. DM! 🤭
EEEEKS No! Wilder is a genius. I was kidding. Gloria it is! And now I can’t resist adding Carol Burnett’s sensitive re-interpretation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHiUaYqxeT8

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Vielen danke mein leiber Freund Martha დ
They certainly love having their photos taken or you are so good they don’t even know you are there. Just posing for whoever!
Smiling…. They definitely know. They are curious the camera lens and tend to stare into it. Lots of wild creatures do this, even grizzly bears დ
They are so pretty. Gorgeous photos, Cindy.
Merci beaucoup mon Ami Lynette დ
Excellent!
Thank you very much Indira დ
Excellent photos, Cindy, they are so petite and pretty!
Thank you Eliza. You are right. They are tiny birds. The photos can’t really show this დ
Beautiful birds!
So happy you like them Andrew & cheers დ
I think a bird is one of the most beautiful creation and I think you have capture it so perfectly and closely Cindy. Thanks a lot.
I share your feelings about birds and appreciate your thoughtful comments sincerely დ
That is So beautiful.. Keep giving dear 🌻
Thanks so much my friend & take good care დ

Beautiful finches!! Recently heard about an interesting nd clever Canadian artist known for painting small birds on five strands of barb wire as the notes in the arrangement of a piece of music – selected by whomever she’s painting it for – https://emilylozeron.com/recent-paintings/.
Wow! She is so talented and her work is stunning. Thank you very much for the intro დ
Posing for sure! You coaxed the best out of them.- good work!
Thank you very much & cheers! დ
Mr Demille would have had you on his team
Laughing…. I would definitely have taken a more flattering close-up of Gloria. Those shots were unkind დ
What beautiful birds. I can almost hear their thoughts through your lovely photos.
Aww… You make me happy I posted. Thanks much & cheers to you დ
Your post was a treat for all of us. Have a great weekend, Cindy.
They’re so beautiful.
Aren’t they lovely birds, and so tiny! They are here now დ
I think they really do come to you to have their picture taken. Seriously. They do.
I know! Sweeties დდ
Such a cute little bird I’ve never seen. I wonder what it’s thinking perched on the little tree.
We have the exact same thought! Originally, I wrote the post wondering what he was thinking of us დ

Thank you very much for your kind thoughtfulness my friend & be well დ
Such a cheery-colored bird, Cindy! Thanks for getting so close that we can view them in all their glory. They do rather look like they’ve been to the salon, don’t they?!
They do look fluffed and feathered, like a 1950’s hairdo! 😉 Thanks much Debbie & take good care my friend დ
Their colors and their songs/calls are always rays of sunshine! 😍💛
They are garden gold! დ
Fantastic pictures of the beautiful birds. Thank you Cindy!
You are so welcome Ute & thank you my friend დ
Short and sweet just like the birds 🙂
Smiling. Thank you very much & cheers დ
Love those pictures! Each one shows a different mood of the golden beauty. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you more Balroop for you thoughtful appreciation დ
Great portraits, Cindy! Since we took down our feeders, bear raids, we miss our goldfinches.
Oh my! I am envious. I want to see photos of the bear raids! When my son was in grad school, he was studying rattlesnakes. He set a wildlife cam to monitor them and forgot about it. Eventually he retrieved it, but never looked at it. I found it and looked at the photos. It contained hundreds of photos of bears and cubs engaging in all sorts of amazing behaviors. We were fascinated დ
These goldies certainly know how to work it for the camera!
They are naturals! No makeup and special lighting for these QT’s! 😉 😉
😀
Wonderful, Cindy, as always!!
Wonderful!! As always, Cindy!!
So appreciated. Thank you & cheers დ
We have these lovelies at our feeder, too. Thanks for the close-ups!
Aren’t they wonderful! Happy you have them. They are so tiny! დ
It’s OK when you have something to pose with like they have. At my age and shape I won’t be risking it.Public Protection First. Hugs Cindy.
I can fully relate with you David! 😉 😉
Little sweeties!
They are tiny little sweeties! დ
Hi Cindy, I have, on occasion seen them here in Canada.
Leslie
That’s amazing! Birdies like to get around 😉 😉

They are getting to know you well Cindy, dressing up for the occasion 🤣❤️🙏
Puffing up their feathers for the fotos!!! 😉
You must be a birds enthusiast or an ornithologist. Your bird photos are always amaaazing
Thank you so much! So appreciated. Just a birdie lover and I think they know it დ
They know you will capture their best sides. You always do. Thanks for bringing them up close and personal.
Smiling….Thank you. So very happy to hear you are doing better Marlene and recovering quickly. You are in my thoughts and prayers my friend დ
Beautiful captures Cindy, with lovely lighting.
So appreciated Ashley. Thank you very much დ
