[Tweeters] Edmonds Lesser Goldfinch (again!)

[Dee Dee via Tweeters]

Wow, fellow Tweeters, have to share that a beautiful male Lesser Goldfinch (LEGO) put in an unexpected appearance at my seed feeder at 2pm on Monday (September 29, 2025). That’s almost 2 months earlier than last year’s Very First Ever yardbird LEGO sighting (November 21, 2024).
To say I was surprised and excited is an understatement! The good news is that despite being in the middle of brushing my teeth and not having my glasses on, I managed to get several decent photos of him (2 of which can be seen in my E-bird submitted checklist). Thank heavens for auto-focus…. 
 Not daring to hope that my winter months might again be graced with intermittent sightings of such a pretty little bird like happened last winter (late November through early March, 14 sightings) but—fingers crossed.
Be on the lookout…Hint: This bird was in company of a few American Goldfinches, which was fairly typical for last winter’s sightings as well. 
Happy Autumn birding, all!
