I (and any of my neighbors who care) have been blessed with Eastern Goldfinches for the last few years. There is a pair that visits my yard frequently and I am in love with their melodic songs. Last year my cat came to my back door with his proud "I've killed something for you" howl. Out of his mouth was the yellow of our state bird. My heart sunk - I reponded by flicking my cat with my forefinger and thumb which caused him to open his mouth and the bird flew out! I am honored and a little frightened my bird friend has come back this year, and I'm sure it's him because there is a bit of dent on his chest. I'm obsessed with trying to obtain a good shot of them. One more reason these sunflowers make me smile.
