Dear Mary, That sweet bird is a young male American Gold Finch. We have a small flock that come to the feeders. I was tickled to see his tail feathers flared! They are beautiful singers too. Soon I will not be able to get very good, "birds in trees" as the leaves will give too much cover. I too am still learning about the birds even after 35 years of being a "birder". Sherry
Dear Laurie, Birds and bugs and blooms, oh my! I am so pleased you are enjoying the gardens with me. Each day a new adventure. I never know from moment to monent what joy Mother Nature will present. I am a shutterbug. We won the opener!! Sherry
Your flowers are so springy. What bird is that? I'm still learning about the birds. It's gorgeous!

As always your photos are amazing! I am going to have to make a file on my computer just for your pictures.
