For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hi everyone!
Just getting back to what I started last year. This will be Thursday’s early morning post from now on. It will just be different photos, no particular theme, just something I hope you will enjoy to look at. Today we have a male American Goldfinch, mostly a summer bird for us. Only once have I seen them here in the winter and that was two years ago. Have a great day everyone and I hope to see you again for my regular morning post! God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Nice, birds have found the treasure of foods for this season. I learn this, even though the birds know they’ll get these food all year, they still travel. But humans? we won’t do this, if we get a job with a good income, they stay at same place all year π . What a lesson to learn from this birdβ¨π€ππ

This was 40+ years ago. Maybe they were some other bird.. they were all yellow and sang all the time. What do I know?π€

That may have been canary’s, they are often sold as pets.ππΈ And they do sing nicely too. Songbirds have been protected since the 1930s here in N America.

So why is a Gold Finch a song bird and a Canary is not?π

Our laws only apply to N America, not other countries, they have their own laws. And canaries are not a N American bird, they are a tropical bird.

They must have a help section. But if it’s not working then that wouldn’t help. Maybe you got hacked? Someone maybe took over your account and soon the police will be knocking on your door.
