American goldfinch (Spinus tristis)

Connecticut residents, including our feathered friends, look forward to the annual sunflower blooms. As folks from all over descend on the fields for selfies, birds like this American goldfinch come to feast on the fall seeds.
This is Auger's Field in North Branford, Connecticut. Of their many fields, this one is a seasonal treat for residents: they plant it solely with sunflowers just for the enjoyment of people and critters alike.
