Species: Lesser Goldfinch
Most recent capture date: 5/4/2021
Age: at least 2 years old
Sex: Male
Notes: I’m always surprised by how short the legs of a Lesser Goldfinch are – the goldfinch is proportioned like a woodpecker, with stubby thick legs. In this photo you can see the white patch on the wing quite well; the length of that patch helps us determine the bird’s sex and age.
