Lots of goldfinches at the feeders at my folks' place in Ohio. During the summer they're brilliant yellow\n(as seen in “<\/span>Goldfinches on a Feeder<\/span><\/a>”<\/span> a few<\/span> years ago),\nbut they're less vibrant during the winter.<\/p>\n\n

I didn't bring many lenses on this trip... I would<\/span> have liked the\n70-200, but I made<\/span> do with the Voigtl\u00e4nder 125mm and some cropping. Good\nbirding pics are very difficult and I certainly<\/span> don't have the skill, but\nthese are fine for me.<\/p>\n\n\n
