Lesser Goldfinch

Lesser Goldfinch: A small bird with bright yellow to brownish coloration on the body, dark wings with a large white wingbar. Color variations occur with location - for example, black backs are found in Texas birds, but backs are usually green in all birds west of Texas. These birds are found across the southwest United States and all of Mexico. They do well in suburban habitats and are common in areas inhabited by humans. 

Rosalia and I saw a Lesser Goldfinch on the Crissy Fields trip. It was fairly dull and very small - probably a juvenile. It was quite cute :)
