Thanks for looking and for such encouraging comments Jean and Mary!

Thanks Walter and Kathleen.
Birds are a favorite subject for my photography and the presence now of winter finches, a great way to entice me out of doors in this cold weather. #7142962

Thanks Chrisitne and Dianna.

I wish I had gotten his little tail in better focus. Maybe he moved it or maybe I needed more depth of field? I have an excuse now to go back and try again for an image where he's in focus head to tail! #7171157
