Stephen > This lesser goldfinch would not come out of the leaves and branches for seed or water at the first blind at which I spent time while visiting the Martin Refuge.  Consequently, I took this image of the goldfinch hiding among some branches.  It was quite difficult to get a clean shot, but after rearranging my gear and a few moves on the part of the subject, I was able to get this photo.  Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
