I have been meaning to ask you, what kind of camera do you have?; August 7, 2008 at 9:06 AM

Peggy said...: It is tough to ID this bird with this interesting photo, great action!; August 7, 2008 at 10:53 AM
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...; August 7, 2008 at 3:00 PM

Mary C said...: 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.; August 8, 2008 at 11:00 AM
