The Finches are Back!




The Goldfinches are back!  I haven't seen the Purple Finches yet... but I'm hoping it'll be soon.  They aren't really purple, but a beautiful, deep red.

They've been out there all day - mostly three and four at a time. They love this particular food  - it's just something inexpensive from the feed store, but they are happy with it anyway.  



I had fun shooting with the telephoto lens. Although these are shot through a window.  They birds don't tend to come if I sit on the deck nearest the feeder.




I loved this fellow's downy appearing feathers - and their color!




We've also had quite a few Cardinals.  The Cardinals are here all winter, but in the winter we don't see as many females.  I noticed yesterday that the females are back in full force.  




Caught this guy with food on his face!




Look at the outstanding coloring on his back feathers!
