Birds of Canada: Goldfinch Quarter
The Goldfinch flies throughout southern Canada — and this coin will be a popular collectible for birders of all kinds!
The Goldfinch’s bright, canary-yellow plumage is reserved for the male while the female is more olive-hued. As the year progresses, the male’s colouring becomes increasingly subdued, as will the female’s. No other finch in the cardueline family displays such a striking difference in its summer and winter colours. Scientists believe this is because the Goldfinch goes through a unique springtime moult instead of gradually wearing down its feathers like other finches.
