Speaking of Nature: The bird that changes outfits in the winter: The adult male American goldfinch opts for a less showy plumage

Winter is the harshest time of year and as a result there are fewer species to look for. At my house, in the month of January, I have managed to see a maximum of 31 different species. Different people living in different places will probably see a smaller number than that, but there may be the occasional yard that has more species to offer.
