I was asked not too long ago by a photo buyer for a major publication if I had any good images of Gold Finches in a garden. Unfortunately I did not. The result of not having the image has sent me on a mission to make such an image.

While I think these images are getting me closer, I still don’t have the image I want. I have been a little surprised at just how timid this species is. They really don’t like my presence, even when I am very quiet and don’t move hardly at all.

I guess I will have to keep trying!
