Goldfinches

Mr. and Mrs. Goldfinch on the sunflowers this afternoon. We often have six of these in the yard at once, but they are very skittish birds and it is hard to get close to them, so my pictures usually look like this. Today there was also a monarch butterfly flitting back and forth across this bed, and I kept trying to take a picture that would show the birds and the butterfly, but never got the right shot.
