Usually Don't Do This

I do not like to post feeder pics, usually only habitat captures of the avian species.
But.... He was such a beautiful Finch.

Beautiful capture! He looks really good with the weathered wood . :)
I only get to see these little guys for a couple of days a year in the spring and they are quite flighty while they are here .
I don't think I have ever caught one in a natural setting .... unless he's a tiny little speck in a tree , lol :)

Very nice! Their feathers are just beautiful.

I see no reason not to shoot at the feeder. Especially when you end up with such great results. Nicely done!

Thanks to all for the compliments. I didn't know everyones thoughts on feeder pics, so thanks again.

I steer clear of feeder shots too, some of my shots are a foot away with birds waiting their turn. I like however the result here. Nice shot:)
