A cheerful
chirping song from a tree in an open space may help you to spot an
American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis). The bright, canary-yellow of the
black-capped male will stand out against the landscape, while the more
olive-hued female will likely be overlooked.
However, when seen
at bird-feeders across southern Canada late in the year, the male
Goldfinch will no longer have the bright yellow that's so strongly
associated with it. The colours of both males and females will be much
more subdued; predominantly olive-brown with touches of pale yellow,
white and black.
The American Goldfinch, also known as the "Wild
Canary," is present in North America. It is often found in residential
areas, attracted to bird feeders installed by humans, which increases
its survival rate in these areas.
