Canvas - American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis)
from $40.00
The American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis) is a small finch that is predominantly yellow but changes color when it molts twice a year. Adult males are vibrant yellow in the spring and summer to attract a mate and change to olive in the winter. Females are a dull yellow-brown color that brightens slightly during the summer. They are granivors with a conical beak specifically designed to remove seeds which allows them to thrive in populated areas with a high number of bird feeders. They also migrate south in the winter to avoid below 32°F (0°C) temperatures that they can't tolerate.
