Description
I've been blabbing about finches around my feeder but haven't popped up any photos of them. Their coloring is rather bland...makes for great camo in their wooded habitat. At any rate, here is one of about 7-8 who visit daily.
After studying my Field Guide to the Birds of North America, I am 98% sure this is a female Eastern Purple Finch. Young males are beginning to show a pink color that eventually gives them a rose colored hue. I'll have to try to photograph one for posting. I didn't know what they were until just now.

Makes me think of that old cartoon with Foghorn Leghorn and the little chickenhawk. :) Up close, this little gal is quite pretty, isn't she? Each feather has a pattern. Nice camo!

OK, she's not a chicken. I'll trust you about her being a Purple Finch. You do the best close-up portraits of the visitors to your bird feeder!

They weren't kidding when they said that had fixed the Hubble Telescope, and you apparently used it to your advantage! What clarity and textures in this amazing and awesome closeup of the chickenlike little tweetie bird, Bill!

This is a superb close up, it has to be a favourite. Your finches are different from ours down here though they are the same shape.

Great closeup capture of this wonderful little bird.

Does look a little like a baby chick. Powerful looking beak. Great capture. If today's postings are new, you must be progressing nicely. That makes me very happy my friend. Dana
