Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

I took this one in late November 2019 at Rutland nature reserve on a chilly and almost cloudless day. It was late afternoon and a flock of goldfinches had come to feed on the teasels, which seem to be their favourite food. At that time of year the sun was already getting low and the light was beautiful. The goldfinch in the warm light with the dying, yellowing reeds in the background all seemed to come together.
What a beautiful goldfinch. Wow.
