An Early or Late-Nesting of Green-backed Goldfinch
On November 4, 1918, a neighbor called me over to inspect the nest of a Green-backed Goldfinch (Astragalinus psoltria hesperophilus) that he had found in his yard. The nest was in an apricot tree about eight feet up, and from which all the leaves had fallen. It contained two partially feathered young. The fact that autumn had bared the trees of their foliage made it look especially odd.
