Garden Party

I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends

These are the some of the regulars who frequent the birdbath and feeders in our yard. The yellow ones are male American Goldfinches. The other three are House Finches – the males having the red coloring.

In the interest of full disclosure – I never got more than three of them to belly up to the bar at one time, so a little Pops Digital magic was needed to fill up the spaces.

Almost Angry Birds

Published October 16, 2011 | By Bill

The unusual angle of the subject and the very limited focal depth makes this image interesting – at least to me.

This is a House Finch was hanging off the side of a cage-like feeder. You can see he’s munching on something. I took this out the window of our home using a 300mm lens.

I’ve never played the Angry Birds game, but the head of this bird reminded me of it.
