Disheveled

6/30/20 male goldfinch

A bright yellow male goldfinch was at our feeder, but I could see that something was wrong. Injured or sick, he rested there for long periods without eating and seemed to have difficulty perching. The black chevron pattern that should have shown on his wings looked disheveled. Taking a seed or two now and then, he returned daily for a few days. Then returned no more.
