We have a few Goldfinches all winter, off and on, so we get used to seeing them in their drab winter colors. It is easy to forget how bright they get by early summer. This is the awkward time when they just look unfinished\u2026enough yellow to remind you of their summer splendor but only just. Still, it won\u2019t be long now.
