Goldfinch Wine? American Goldfinch, Washington Co., Oregon on 16 May 2008 by Greg Gillson.Question: Hi Greg. First of all, very beautiful photos on your site!
Secondly, I'm looking for a list of birds that make their homes in Washington, Oregon and Northern Cal. The bird must exist in all three states, and these states should be where most of the population of these birds exist. It would be especially good if they were found in vineyards.
I'm trying to name a wine after one of these birds. Can you help me?
Oh, and I need to have the name figured out by Thursday...
Thanks!
Peggy
Answer: Interesting question, Peggy.

Can I make a few suggestions as to birds that may be found in vineyards in
these three areas and may be appropriate names for wines? How about...
