A few photos of my backyard friends

Today is Outdoor Wednesday.  Please check out these other great blogs at A Southern Daydreamer.

House Finch

We finally received some snow.  With this white background the red of the male House Finch sure stands out.

A House Finch is a slender, sparrow-sized bird around 5 to 5.75 inches long with short, stubby convex bill and square-tipped tail.

House Finches remember where they can find a source of food. Once you attract certain House Finches to your feeder, they will be sure to keep coming back as long as you keep refilling your feeder.

House finches come easily to my feeders for sunflower seeds.  I really enjoy watching them.

Back from Vacation

 

We just got back from a wonderful cruise to the Western Caribbean.  The sky was just crazy with amazing colors.
