July 19, 2016 By Adam Stevenson

The other day I was on the phone as I arrived at school, and I waited in my car in the parking lot until the conversation was over.  All of the sudden a gold finch (the state bird of Washington!) landed on a shrub just outside my car.  I was so happy.  They are somewhat rare here in Illinois, but as
