Description

This goldfinch has been coming to my feeder since October 2014. He is very “forward”, and will call “BeeBee”
(that’s what it sounds like to me) back and forth with me. I can tell him from all the other goldfinches because he is the only one who answers me. He stays at the feeder when I go outside, even when all the other birds fly away. One day he was sitting on my deck and stayed still as I slowly approached him. I was so surprised when he let me pick him up. He stayed in my hand until I put him down, He flew away when I went inside my house.
