SIGN OF THE SEASON - A male American Goldfinch beginning his late-Summer molt. All birds molt, many molt once a year and simply replace their old feathers with a similar looking set. Other birds, like Goldfinches, molt twice a year and change their appearance dramatically with the seasons. The male Goldfinch's bright yellow Summer plumage will be replaced by drab winter plumage.
