My dog, Charlie, and I were sitting outside watching for birds. I was drinking coffee and had a camera on my lap, as usual. I was using Merlin Sound ID, to find out what birds were around. There were all kinds of tanagers and warblers around that I'll like to get a picture of, but it's kind of like having a fish finder, you know they are there but capturing them is a whole different thing. But here is a pretty good photo of a female house finch (Haemorhous mexicanus), it looks like she just had her hair done.
I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut. I most likely will post this one to the gallery. usually wait a couple of days to see how I feel about it then.

Yesterday, among the hundreds of goldfinches flittering around my backyard. I saw this house finch (Haemorhous mexicanus). I was taken by his coloring, which is a bit more on the orange side than most house finches that I see around here. I only had time for this one shot. The look on the bird's face reminds me of Ben when I'm talking to him, and he just stares back at me.

You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.
