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.

Wonderful bird and wowww gorgeous zoom shot
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!
No your not!! Great capture Bill, love the look its giving you lol. Excellent!!
Excellent capture my friend, I think it's a little cracker :)
Hmm, I must find the time to look around my garden. Well done, Clive
Wonderful capture, excellent well done..

Nice capture Bill...:-)
Great to see her up close like this.
That's a very meaningful beak!! A super portrait!
Our state bird, they are common as well as the house finch that look very similar.Well captured.
Nice one Bill! Looks like you have many fine specimens visiting your feed! Get well soon my friend!
Very nice capture Bill. :)
Very cute shot -- of a chicken :)
Very nice shot. He looks like he's ready to stand and defend his position too!
Deatail in zoom is fabulous, you have caught him eating too. You must be so patient.
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!
Outstanding shot
cool shot
They are such gorgeous birds in full color ,...can't wait to see more!!
Nicely captured and spotted...!!!
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!
That good still watching the birds 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
Lovely little finch, of course you are no chicken! Great capture!
