    You didn’t comment on the photos which makes me wonder if you’d prefer I not send you something like this?

    The European Goldfinch surprised me. It looks like the darker spot on its head might be red; it’s a very attractive bird.

      It is red. These alien birds were introduced and now breed in Prospect Park.
