The Ninth Strange Day

Kitti spotted an American Goldfinch hanging around on our sunflowers, picking out seeds. The conversation went something like this:

Kitti: Come see this cool bird!
Me: Ooh!
Kitti: It’s so yellow, I almost didn’t see it against the sunflowers. It blends right in. What is it?
Me: Looks like some kind of a finch. I’ll go look it up.

…. In hindsight, “Goldfinch” should have been my first guess. Now let’s all sing “Goldfinches” to the tune of “Goldfinger”.

My mother will be killing me later for sticking that song in her head.
