When you see a red finch, you are looking at a male of one of three species: Purple Finch, Cassin's Finch, House Finch (non-native bird). I'd say that this bird is a Purple Finch. Let me know if you want to learn more about telling the various finch species apart. Nice photographs! Fill flash would have again helped on the finch shots. -- "Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.

Are these crops or resized originals? |

Ya, I dont know much about flashes. I was actually pretty close when I took these shots. Probably about 10-12 feet away. Most of these shots are just resized. A couple of the finch shots are cropped. -- "We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time." Vince Lombardi |
