Goldfinch!

Actually, goldfinches, plural. A mated pair, I presume, of American goldfinches. Certainly they were in mating colors -- the female is pretty enough, but the male is spectacular in that bright yellow.

I spotted the female first, sitting on the power line that runs past the picture window to the side of the house. Then the male flitted in and started hovering around the panes of the living room windows -- not sure if he saw himself and was trying to scare off a rival, or saw me and ditto. Either way, was very impressed to see him come so close. Definitely the first goldfinches I've spotted in the yard. Hope they have brains enough to stay away from Tinka.
