From the pics, it looks way too big for a Goldfinch. They are relatively popular in California (and throughout the west coast).Greghttp://www.rafflecopter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998135299923116308.post-68722721725581378452011-05-17T03:32:45.319-07:002011-05-17T03:32:45.319-07:00It doesn't look like one we see here in UK.

Maybe you might find it here: http://www.whatbird.com/browse/objs/All/birds_na_147/110/Color/2116/Yellow<br /><br />It's always exciting to see something new and then do the detective work to figure out what it was. Good luck! And your holiday plans sound lovely - I'd like to stow away in your luggage for a trip to Paris :-) We'll be spending our summer on our yacht sailing in the Swedish archipelago - very low key but relaxing.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.com
