ADD COLOR TO THE GARDEN
Goldfnches, Always Attracted by Sun
flowers, Make Beauty Spot
Especially Attractive.

A very familiar bird in our gardens,
especially when there are Suntlowers
growing there. is the beautiful little
American goldfinch.
Their deep black wings and tail and
little cap form striking. though pleas
ing. contrast TO their bright yellow
bodies.
Because of their sweet, canary-like
notes they are often called wild ca
narieS.
they are very sociable little birds,
being found usually in small focks !:
they even build their nests in small
communities.
When winter approaches the male
changes his bright yellow coat for one
of soherer color closely resembling
that Of the female.
Numbers of them feed upon the sun
flowers in my garden every year, and it
is pleasing sight TO 90 in there and
see their bright yellow bodies flashing
in the sun.
They are hardy little fellows, spend
ins the entire winter with us,-New
