[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Well, this is a very common male European Goldfinch. Very common in Europe, but this one lives in Montreal's Botanical garden and there is at least one more male here, since I've seen them together. But I've never seen any female of European Goldfinch in the garden. So, there is a question: what is their origin? Have they escaped from capture or migrated from Bermudas, the closest permanent population? Do they have mates, is this a start of new population?

Hi Eugene,

You've got the same lens as I have. What are your experiences? I like this catch of the goldfinch. Great catchlight and fine pose.

Zeno.

Je suis bouche-bée Eugène! C'est une capture très rare! Je n'ai jamais vu ces oiseaux ici avant. Qu'elle belle photo! Tu devrait la rescencer sur les site des oiseaux rares du Québec. Superbe!
