For those of you who are unfamiliar with where I live, the field adjoining our house was sold several years ago to the county board of education. Since the building of schools is nowhere in sight, the field has simply become a weedy mess. And that might account for the new sightings in our yards (and no, I'm not talking about the field mice who came and made themselves a feast in my garden last year).
Last year we saw a few bright flashes of yellow. Today I saw not one, but three in a tree near the house. I pulled out the binoculars so I could get a better view of the bird. Turns out we now have yellow finches.
They don't look anywhere near this big in real life, but it was nice to see the little spots of sunshine nevertheless.
