A Scarlet Beauty - Vancouver, British Columbia
This is the next shot in a series showcasing the beautiful tropical birds of the Bloedel Conservatory. This is a male red-billed fire finch. Thanks for the ID, Michael and PetervH. Note the faint white stars on its chest. Both zebra and star finches have white stars on their chests, though the stars are more pronounced. The photo was taken in October 2013, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.
