House Finch

A much more recent shot, this male House Finch was eyeing me up from our Pecan Tree before deciding to make a fly for the feeder.

Interested in purchasing prints of my photographs?

Wonderful shot of this bird. The background could be a nice shot even without the little finch. Nicely done, Jason.

We had some of these nesting in our eaves back in Kentucky. I always enjoyed seeing the red plumage on these saucy fellas.

Beautiful grab here, Jason...you really caught the light on his colors very nicely - I love these birds...we had lots of finches in San Diego but I have not seen a lot of Finches here. Thanks very much, Jason, for your wonderful comments on my blog of late - I really appreciate them very much!
