put an orange out for the house finches cause I they'll nibble on it.

saw this guy out there tonight...now I need to keep him coming so I can shoot him in sunlight & not a cloudy rainy day like tonight.

So tickeled to have him stop by & get some shots that I forgot to run these through noise ninja:dunno

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I've been working on getting them in range for a couple days, they're pretty busy building nests and not coming out of the tree tops.
