The American goldfinch is the only finch that molts its body feathers twice — once at the end of the breeding season and again in late winter — so the bright bird on this sweatshirt is a summer bird. For half the year he is a drab olive-brown thing at the back of the feeder that most people do not recognize as the same species. He nests late to match, waiting until July or August, when thistle and milkweed have gone to seed and there is down to line the cup and seed to feed the young. Nearly every other songbird is done by then. He is only getting started, and he arrives the color of the season he waited for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1044\/8430\/7104\/files\/summer-had-a-color-goldfinch-embroidered-sweatshirt-comfort-colors-white-closeup.png\" alt=\"Close-up of the embroidery on a White Comfort Colors 1566 crewneck — a goldfinch in yellow, black and white thread on a brown twig, no text.\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:560px;height:auto;margin:0 auto 12px;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;color:#9A9384;text-align:center;margin:0 0 36px;\"\u003eThe stitching up close on White — satin stitch on the body, a clean line of black across the cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 36px;padding:34px 30px;background:#FAF7F0;border:1px solid #E7DFCF;border-radius:14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;font-family:'Mulish',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:.22em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#8A7B5C;margin:0 0 .5em;\"\u003eThe Story Behind It\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;font-size:18px;color:#C9A23F;letter-spacing:.35em;margin:0 0 1.2em;\"\u003e✶ ✶ ✶\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Newsreader',Georgia,serif;font-size:18px;line-height:1.9;font-style:italic;margin:0 0 1.1em;color:#3A352C;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"float:left;font-family:'Newsreader',Georgia,serif;font-size:3.2em;line-height:0.7;padding:0.08em 0.12em 0 0;color:#C9A23F;font-style:normal;\"\u003eH\u003c\/span\u003eer mother would not mow the back strip.
