American Goldfinch Sign

Help visitors identify a cheerful, common backyard bird. This 9 x 12-inch trail sign explains that in spring the male goldfinch sports bright yellow feathers, a shiny black forehead and black-and-white wings, while females and winter males are duller and grayer. A strict vegetarian, it doesn't nest until late summer, when seeds are plentiful. Visitors can look for it in fields with scattered trees, farmlands and backyard feeders.
