I'd decided to call it a day and head back to my truck when a yellowish blur flew by at a high rate of speed and disappeared into some bushes. I waited for the bird to reappear, but after a few minutes decided I was out of luck. I began to walk away when this male American Goldfinch (with breeding markings) reappeared and settled onto a thistle stalk just long enough for me to take this photo.
