Abstract:
The American goldfinch is one of the most recognizable birds in the country, having a deep gold-colored body with black wings, tail, and head covering. It is known as the eastern goldfinch in North Carolina and frequents the state most of the year, usually in small groups or flocks. Yellow or gold-colored flowers provide the goldfinch seeds for food. This bird is beneficial to man through its diet of weed seeds and soft-bodied insects.
