American Goldfinch Product:Notecard Set bold black wing stripesThe American Goldfinch (Eastern Willow Goldfinch), a small songbird, is easily recognized by its vibrant yellow plumage and contrasting black wings and cap during summer. Native to North America, it is commonly found in open fields and meadows and is the state bird of both Iowa and New Jersey. Known for its acrobatic feeding habits, a fun fact is that it molts twice a year, unlike most songbirds.
