🐦American Goldfinch

Spinus tristis (Linnaeus, 1758)

北美金翅雀(學名:Spinus tristis),又名北美金翅雀或美國金翅雀,是北美洲的一種雀。牠們是候鳥,於繁殖季節分佈在加拿大至北卡羅萊那州,冬天則分佈在加拿大以南至墨西哥。 北美金翅雀是金翅亞科中唯一會完全換羽,且是兩性異形的。雄雀分別於夏天及冬天呈黃色及橄欖色;雌雀於夏天則呈黃褐色。雄雀在繁殖季節會展示鮮艷的羽毛來吸引異性交配。 北美金翅雀是吃種子的,適合吃種子穗。牠們圓錐狀的喙可以除去種子,靈活的腳則可以抓住種子穗的莖。牠們是群居的,覓食及遷徙時會聚成大群。牠們在築巢時可能是地盤性的,但攻擊性只會維持一段短時間。牠們的繁殖季節與食物供應的高峰是同一時間,於7月開始,對於金雀属來說是較為遲的。牠們一般都是一夫一妻制的,每年只會生一窝。 人類活動一般對北美金翅雀帶來益處。牠們出沒在住宅區,受到人類設置的餵鳥器所吸引,增加了牠們的生存率。伐林為牠們開創了遼闊的草坪,適合牠們棲息。
