[Tweeters] Edmonds Lesser Goldfinch follow-on

[Dee Dee via Tweeters]

I apologize for delayed mention of this; on Saturday, January 25th, a/the (take your pick) beautiful male Lesser Goldfinch was seen and photographed in my garden (9th such occasion since November; eBird checklist/media submitted). If it is indeed the same individual, as seems likely, I’d think perhaps it might be spotted by someone else in the area, which would be interesting to know about. I am curious how far afield it might be roaming. It definitely is not spending a lot of time in my yard, at least not when I am looking out the window (which is more often than my chore list benefits from). Regardless, I am very pleased to have had this many sightings of a species not previously seen (by me) in my yard or neighborhood. 

As a side note, I confess I was glad the LEGO had visited around 11:40am as, around 1:00pm later that day, the local Cooper’s Hawk came, spent a good 30 minutes or so casing the yard, and departed with a careless Pine Siskin. The Cooper’s is a regular visitor but, no surprise, it’s seldom we happen to see it have success.
