Fun Friday: Dazed & Confused
Today’s post features a couple of images I captured this morning as I was preparing some other images for today’s blog post.

Goldfinches in the Snow

There’s Gold in Them Thar Prairies (2012)
This post originally published in August 2010. In my quest to get some images of the birds in the prairie meadow, the most common one I’ve found is the American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis). The Goldfinches can be found all over the meadow, but most are found near a large area of sunflowers, which is the […]
