Yesterday I stepped outside to do something and saw movement in my island bed. A hummingbird was feeding from the white flags. I pulled out my camera, which is nearly always slung around my neck, zoomed in and snapped once before it flew away.
We ran out of black-oil sunflower seeds awhile back, so the birds have abandoned our deck. But I caught a glimpse of what looked like a fluffy white bird on the railing yesterday in the spitting mist. I looked closer to see what I think was a juvenile goldfinch. In spite of my dirty windows, I hid behind a wall, pointed my camera at it, and snapped away.
That's it for today from . . .

Great snap of the hummer!! And it is an american Goldfinch. Could be a male moulting into eclipse plumage (migrating), but I think you're probably right that it's a juvenile. How Fun!
I think it's pretty amazing that you got such a good shot of the hummingbird. I don't see them often, but they are always moving so fast, I would think it difficult to get a good shot. Love the pictures of the little juvenile! He looks soooo fluffy!
Thanks, ladies; I was pretty pleased to capture that hummer on the wing!
