Goldfinch Glimpses for a Feathered Friday on a Throwback Thursday

in #featheredfriday5 years ago (edited)


For a number of reasons, I'm taking a break from scanning old family photos for Throwback Thursday. However, since last week @melinda010100 said to me in a reply -

Look at all these wonderful bird photos! You could have easily used the #featheredfriday tag... It doesn't have to be Friday!

I'm going to do just that! I decided to go with Goldfinches, because they're one of my mother's favorite birds, so I thought she'd enjoy having a whole post filled with them!

Since all of these were taken between May 2016 and April 2017, that makes them Throwback Thursday material. And I had to go for Goldfinch Glimpses because I've been feeling in an almost annoyingly alliterative mood lately. 😊

Oh, and don't miss the post Melinda did this week for her very creative Feathered Friday--Bird houses. She did an awesome job changing things up a bit, and shows how easy it is to participate in this tag!

Now, here are my Goldfinch Glimpses for a Feathered Friday on a Throwback Thursday!

Yep, she's now complaining to the other birds about me....LOL!

Such beautiful bodily expressions Mr Goldfinch has Traci. And Miss Goldfinch has such gorgeous feathers. Good to be reminded of #featheredfriday ~ Even better that it doesn't have to be Friday to share out feathered friends. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

It amazes me how expressive birds truly are, and how often they seem to put on a show for the camera, @allyinspirit! And I agree - it's awesome that any day is a good day for a Feathered Friday! 😊

Beautiful photos! Love the colours of those guys, thanks for sharing!

Thanks in return for your kind words, @pardinus! And I agree - their coloring is so cool and I love it too!

Traci, you captured awesome shots of the beautiful finch and their antics.

I'm lucky that the local finches seem to love posing for the camera, Jo! And thanks so much! 😊

What a super cool selection of shots of these little beauties that last flying away one is cool and fun
!tip

Aww, thanks for the compliments and the tip, @tattoodjay! Funny, at the time I remember saying some choice words when that finch took off (I wasn't going for an action shot...LOL), but I was pleasantly surprised with the result!

Most welcome, and sometimes an unexpected action like a bird flying away can be both frustrating but then end up making a cool shot

Have a great weekend

Very true. You as well - hope you stay cool during this "Excessive Heat Warning" weather!

I just got back from a walk on the beach, I went at 5Am and finished at 7 it was only 82F but 95% humidity and I felt the heater then, plan to stay inside and cool for the rest of the day

I love seeing the gifs you come up with :)
