American Goldfinches



The bird of the day is the American Goldfinch.

 


This morning, as I passed by the livestock stock tank near the pond, I saw several goldfinches sitting on the edge of the concrete tank.  I thought they were drinking the water.



Fooled me.

 
They were actually pulling out the green seaweed-like plant growing around the edge of the tank.  And, they looked to be eating it, too.

 

 









I can only assume that said plant was tasty as more goldfinches joined the feast.

 

 
 
I think I will pass on this food item.
