Today @Jillianmarisa and I spent a few hours #volunteering at our local #conservation area doing bird counts for #ProjectFeederWatch. Identifying these two drove me nuts.

We eventually figured out they were a pair of female #Goldfinches. Guess I’m just used to the more showy boys.

@User47 well, both males and females are pretty drab in the winter!

@meghann8 it’s my first time even recognizing them outside of summer. So much to learn!

@User47 yep, you learn the birds, and then they all go and have different winter plumages! 😂
