Nav Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Saw this in San Francisco (Golden Gate Park) a few days ago. It was just sitting on the branch of a small plant. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Brain Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Yes, a male Lesser Goldfinch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I agree with an adult male Lesser Goldfinch. Note the small size, short, conical bill, and notched tail. Adult males have yellow underparts, a black cap, white patches on wings, and a dull green to black back. Females and immature males are drabber and don't have the black cap but have dull green backs, dull yellow underparts, and a white patch on their wings. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
