Backyard birds: This male House Finch, posing on my portrait branch with his bright red head and chest, is all puffed up - possibly to attract the ladies - on this early spring morning in Illinois.

oh, he's so beautiful. I love these little finches. They only appear here in the winter and then as soon as the warm spring weather arrives, so do they. Beautiful capture! :-) Maggie
Joni Eskridge replied:
Thanks so much Maggie. We had many Common Finch pairs throughout the spring and summer. We had a few in the fall, but they seem to have moved along as the cold of winter has enveloped us. Still have lots of Sparrows! We are also enjoying our Cardinals, Chickadees, Goldfinches, Woodpeckers and, of course, the rascally squirrels that taunt our poor old Coonhound! Appreciate the visit Maggie.
