A Pleasant Surprise This Morning at the Feeders

I woke up this morning to a very pleasant surprise. After over a month
with no goldfinches, I looked out the front window and there were 7
beautiful bright yellow goldfinches sitting on one of my feeders! I
thought they'd already left for the Summer, but I guess these 7 must've
been passing through from somewhere further South on their way North.
They were stunning in their Summer colors...like a big bright yellow
Sunflower.

As you can imagine, it was a great start to my morning...
