The American Goldfinch sheds its dull yellow feathers for breeding season and shows off stunning yellow colors.Unfortunately, it is time to stop feeding them because the bears are wondering through the countryside in Virginia. They are more active now that the weather is nice and they are seeking food. They can smell bird seed and will destroy feeders to get it.
Bears don't truly hibernate in our climate, although they den up and sleep for weeks at a time, coming out on warmer days to browse for food.

...we had one at the feeder yesterday, it was a lovely sight.
ReplyDeleteHello, the Goldfinches are so pretty, I see their bright yellows now. Take care, wishing you a great day!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're taking down the feeders soon. With so little human presence, a bear cheerfully walked around in downtown Asheville the other day.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
