Lutsen birdwatcher/photographer Jean Brislance had this to say about his most recent photo, “The bird watching has been a little slow in Lutsen with most everyone in nesting mode or tending to youngsters. But we have had some really colorful American Goldfinches in the yard recently. The American Goldfinches generally wait to harvest the down from the thistle flowers to use as nesting material, so they are some of our latest nesting songbirds.” Photo courtesy of Jean Brislance
