Eastern Goldfinch:

Alert birdwatchers can catch a glimpse of a male eastern goldfinch's bright yellow feathers as he visits in the backyards of New Jersey. He also has a snappy black cap, wings and tail. If you want eastern goldfinches to visit you, try putting out some sunflower seeds - that's their favorite treat. The eastern goldfinch was chosen to be the New Jersey State bird in 1935.
