House finch working on some berries. This is one of those photos with 10 photos before and 10 photos after. Most with his head behind a berry, turned away, or out of focus. And this one isn't even what I had hoped for. The joys of photographing birds.
The House Finch is also bird #42 I have captured a photo of around my home in the San Francisco Bay area.
Dublin, California. February 2019. All photos original.
It looks beautiful against that stunning blue sky! Glad to know that I am not the only one who takes a zillion bird pictures and ends up with one that I like! This is a good one!

I love finches! Nice capture, they are very twitchy little fellows, aren't they? I am a bit envious though, it will be weeks to months before they show up here again!

I am in that big "winter storm" now, three inches of snow so far and still coming down - supposedly for days. The lovely part is all that snow is coming down on that wind polished ice... avalanches up next! Our highway is not a problem, but there are a couple roads in Idaho that are going to be shut down soon.

That's a lovely little bird, and not so easy to photograph. I know what you mean about taking 10 shots to get one keeper, that's always my experience as well. Thanks very much for entering Feathered Friday, hope you have a great weekend! Voted and resteemed :-)

Nice shot anyway @steven-patrick. I find most birds are so quick they are hard to capture. 🦅 😊

Love the blue background behind this very cute finch @steven-patrick These small birds are so active and its very difficult to get them to stay still long enough to capture them. Weel done!
