Elektra calls them 'wild canaries' because that's what her aunt called them. This is an American goldfinch, which I finally managed to get on camera. He's paparazzi-shy. And he's a he, by the way. Cornell Bird Lab says so. We enjoyed seeing him this morning: the sparrows weren't around. They may have headed south.

Wow - excellent! Yes, the plumage could well be described as ‘canary yellow’ - very handsome bird
