I’ve been popping out to the bird feeder with the camera whenever I get a free moment.
And that spontaneity has rewarded me!
The finches can be exceptionally hard to get pictures of, as they are very skittish. (The sparrows are used to me and will buzz my head as they make their way to the feeder). As you can see here, I not only have the sparrows – but the goldfinches (in their winter colour) and the red-headed house finches too!
It’s very unsual to see them on the feeder with the sparrows. Sparrows can be the worst bullies and often chase the finches off.
But they were all minding their manners this day! I’m so happy I was there to capture the moment!
Here’s a few random close-ups taken the same day.

Gorgeous photos Valerie! Love all these little birds. Do you have any chickadees or nuthatches? The mourning doves seem to have disappeared here for the time being. Enjoy your Sunday.

So pretty. I love them all. The one think I really miss here at the condo is that I can’t put up birdhouses here. I enjoy looking at other photos.
Blessings,

What little cuties they are! I love seeing the finches on the deck taking a rest on the railings.
