Sneat 309 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 For the future, flycatchers have thin seed-like bills. Just by Bill shape you can be certain that this individual is not a flycatcher. However, this bird’s conical Bill strongly suggests a goldfinch. You can learn a lot about birds from the shape of their bill. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
