14-CARAT GOLD IN COAT AND DISPOSITION
"What's mine is yours," the Goldfinch might be saying as he coughs up seeds for his hungry young. A devoted husband and father, he feeds his incubating mate the same way while she sits on the nest of thistledown and fibers, fluttering her wings in apparent delight.
'FRAMED" BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER
A female Purple Finch is drab compared with her rosy spouse, so Dr. Allen 'said it with flowers"—a screen of larkspurs and four-o'clocks to cover the feeding pan. Mrs. Finch calmly lunches on a sunflower seed, never suspecting the camera in a blind three feet away.
