#CharlesDarwin, sailing as #naturalist with #HMSBeagle, arrived in the #GalápagosIslands on #ThisDayInHistory in 1835. #Darwin's observations there, and famously a study of its #finches, was crucial in developing his theory of #NaturalSelection to explain the fact of #evolution.

For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Silhouette & Alt #Finches, I offer this American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis) eating native purple coneflower seeds (Echinacea purpurea) in Chicago’s Lurie Garden. Details here: www.beautifulnativeplants.blogspot.com/2016/06/chicagos-lurie-garden-very-public.html

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is:

Alt. is #Finches; any bird from the finch family

Purple Finch female, House Finch male, American Goldfinch male. #Finches

Grosbeaks are #Finches as I recently learned, so this one of the rose-breasted variety is cracking open a sunflower seed in celebration of making it to today’s #BirdOfTheDay ALT theme. #birds #backyardbirds #birdphotography #ECK 🪶

@atlanticbirding.bsky.social AB’s alt #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Finches; any bird from the finch family. This is a female (North) American Goldfinch from January. #birds #birdphotography #OhCanada

A Pine Grosbeak confident that there is food buried under the snow. There are already some grosbeaks in the area so perhaps they will brighten up the landscape this winter. Anchorage #Alaska 🪶
