LifeList® Pins help identify the individual's number of life sightings--first-time views of North American species. The pins start at 25 (Northern Cardinal) for the beginning birder to 700 (Short-tailed Albatross) for the major enthusiast. (An 800 pin is in the works). These are 24-K gold plate lapel pins / cap pins / hat pins to let you celebrate each plateau of your ABA Area Life List.
200 AMERICAN GOLDFINCH (200-AMGO): American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristas). These birds are a beautiful addition to summer fields nesting among the pink and purple thistle. In winter their constant chatter accented with an ascending "squeak" is common as they gather around thistle and sunflower feeders.
