Not something you see every day, a male American Goldfinch
(Spinus tristis) + Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) + Cup Plant (Silphium perfoliatum). (ID note: the Goldfinch is the bird, the Tiger Swallowtail is the butterfly, and the Cup Plant is the plant.) All Erie County, PA.
Looks like a mild, partially cloudy day in Erie today = good conditions for being outside. Happy birding! #more_bird
