Lately a flock of American Goldfinches stopped over. They are changing their color from the bright yellow to dull yellow getting ready for winter. The right bottom one is a male with the changes taking place. The left top is a mom teaching the young one (left bottom) to feed on its own.
Aha, here is another young one who is still being fed from a step mom, who is a Oregon Junco. The young one looks like a Cowbird. This summer, just like last summer, this junco raises a cowbird young since mother Cowbird must have laid her egg in the junco's nest again. God bless the mother Junco for her devotion.
"No wonder you are always hungry. You are now twice as big as me."
