This is a panoramic picture on Lake Lanier taken from an iPhone.

Can any of my ornithologist friend weigh in on what bird this is? I don’t recollect seeing this in the previous seasons. I spotted this yesterday in the forests. Today, I saw it hopping around near our fence. It certainly is of the sparrow family – the way it hopped all over…

This American goldfinch was sitting at the birdfeed for at least ten minutes happily pecking away at the seeds. After sometime, it got wind of the fact that somebody was watching. It looked back with a frown (you can see it in the eyes 🙂 ) with a seed in its beak and spotted me with my camera trained on it. This was a nanosecond before it promptly flew away…
