On Wild Sunflowers

Winter plumaged American Goldfinch on wild sunflowers

Last summer I saw a place along the Missouri River with extensive patches of wild sunflowers along both sides of a gravel road. I thought at the time it would be a wonderful place for finches later in the year when the sunflower seeds had fully formed. Well, they're fully formed now. Yesterday I saw a small flock of American Goldfinches dining on the seeds.
