Thank you Marilyn

These were taken with the Canon 40D and a 300mm f/2.8 lens, handheld.

Great pic indeed! Thanks for posting these Dave!

Do you have alot of House Finch?

I always have more House Finch than anything else. :-)

I took the seed feeders down this year because I had so many starlings and cowbirds and was beginning to see house sparrows.

Before I took the feeders down I did see lots of house finches, probably more than any other variety of bird. Now they come mostly for water and, of course, they fly in with the bluebirds.

I have yet to see a purple finch, however.
