These male lesser goldfinches were coming to a feeder at Big Morongo Reserve in the California Desert, near Joshua Tree National Park. In California, nearly all lesser goldfinch males are of the green-backed form shown here; the black-backed form is found well to the east. The lower left picture shows the more subdued plumage of females, and the bottom photo shows the tropical form (Panama). |
