While they may be small, these animals certainly make a big impression.
Did you know that American goldfinches are the only North American birds to molt twice a year?
This means they change their feather color from dull brown to bright yellow during the summer months. Fun fact – during each molt, American goldfinches can actually create their very own coloring page! This fascinating ability is made possible by tiny blue-pigment cells that remain active in the feathers even after shedding them. The next time you spot an American goldfinch, take pause and appreciate its unique ability to show off a new look seasonally.
