Yellow on yellow

Took a short drive SW of Calgary a couple of days ago, just to get out, but without doing a long drive. I was hoping that I might just come across a Great Gray Owl - gosh, those birds are addictive, lol! No owls, though, but I did come across a pair of fairly cooperative Mountain Bluebirds, which is always a treat, and a pair of very uncooperative American Goldfinches : ) The Goldfinches flew a couple of times to near where the Bluebirds had their nest and I just managed to get this very quick, distant shot of the male. I love it when the fields are full of Dandelions! They make such a pretty backdrop for this colourful bird and also for the bright blue Bluebirds.
