Description
It's spring! And for many birds, a time to look their best to attract a new mate. This American Goldfinch has recently molted. Its old, worn-down feathers have fallen out, and new ones have grown in.

Their winter camouflage helps them blend in with the drab background of the season.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
