Great action shot!

I have been meaning to ask you, what kind of camera do you have?

Great shot. Almost as if she is posing for you.

It is tough to ID this bird with this interesting photo, great action!

Shelley said...

KJ - thank you!

Wendy - I use a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTI.

NC - she definitely stayed a while!

Birdgirl - it seems like even though the females of the birds are usually drab - they seem the sweetest.

Hannibal - thank you! I had to pull out my field guide and make sure it wasn't a purple finch - but still not sure...

Great action shot, Shelley. It looks like your house finch was flexing her wings. House finches around here are a dime a dozen and I've never gotten a photo like that.
