Saw these in Durham the other day. Looked like a goldfinch but without the white stripes:
They were hopping around on the ground looking like they were doing a drunk dance. 8/28/2011 9:21:19 PM |

Hmm, nope, a bit bigger and had a solid yellow chest and solid black cheeks.

I killed it with raid. I kinda feel bad, but I don't need my dogs getting bit by something like this. They come back with enough bull rings ( beatles will bite their nose and the dogs will decapitate them by licking. quite intriguing but a PITA to remove). 8/28/2011 9:28:44 PM |

I'm starting to think goldfinch too but these guys didn't have the white stripes like all the ones in the pictures. Maybe they're a mutant breed! 8/28/2011 9:30:18 PM |

It actually did look a lot like that but with a shorter tail and smaller. And we're not in Central America

Hmm, no the black was much more clearly defined. I'm thinking they must have been goldfinches that just didn't have clear white lines.

Yeah these guys are too small and the markings not the same.
I had no idea there were so many black and yellow birds in the southern US

wait, which bird now? 8/29/2011 10:33:44 AM |

Well, it is also notoriously difficult to identify a bird after the fact. I have a great field guide I cant access right now called all the birds of north america. You should check it out, its pretty easy to use in the field or later. 8/29/2011 10:33:55 AM |
