American Goldfinch Sometimes, it really pays off to return to the same place often. Tonight’s walkabout wound along a familiar lake. Just as I thought I would be skunked (yea, it happens to all of us), who appears but this American Goldfinch. Even a non-bird shooter like me can get a decent image with a little luck and a bit of patience. The Nikon 1 V1 with the 70-300mm lens comes through again. Now, a real bird shooter would have a much better lens with longer reach. Still, for me, it’s not a bad image for a walkabout.
