In the sunlit meadows and weedy fields of North America, this living fleck of sunlight drifts on bounding flight from stem to stem. It feeds almost entirely on seeds — thistles, sunflowers, and late-summer blooms — timing its breeding to the peak of seed abundance. What makes it extraordinary is its patience with the seasons, letting plants fully flower and scatter before it gathers and redistributes their future. A bright pulse of yellow, yet a gentle steward of open lands.
