I'm not sure whether this finch was planning to eat this flower, use it for nesting, or give it to her sweetheart, but either way I'm glad she held the pose long enough for me to snap it!

Three more months of this, finch! My own textured background.

Thank you for your views and comments!

Finch.

House Finches can be found year-around in Michigan's Lower Peninsula, but they will move to another area if a food source is not readily available.

This picture was cropped from my picture taken at Lake St Clair Metropark.

Gouldian Finch, sometimes called Rainbow Finch, is endemic to Australia, but is found in many aviaries, like the Toledo Zoo Aviary, Toledo, Ohio.

Like the familiar story of declining populations of wildlife, the Gouldian Finch has been the victim of habitat destruction, "collecting" for cages/aviaries, and being an easy target for predators.

There are many color variations of Gouldian Finches, especially in captive populations.

This House Finch looked considerably different from others I have seen. The reds were very red, and its chest looked bright white. Also, the reddish color was pretty much confined to the areas shown in the picture (head,neck and rump), and ironically there were no houses in any nearby area : ))

I had such a good session with this cooperative Purple Finch on a freezing bright day yesterday, I am posting one more image of him from a different perspective, light, and background.

Sicalis flaveola (Saffron finch / Canario criollo)

Mainly a seed eater, the Saffron Finch generally searches for seeds and small arthropods on or near the ground.

There has been some disagreement as to whether the Saffron Finch belongs in the family Emberizidae with the sparrows or Thraupidae with the Tanagers.

There are three, separate populations one in northern Colombia and Venezuela; another in Ecuador and Peru and the third in north-east Brazil to central Argentina.

House Finches, particularly males, can look very different from one to another. This is largely due to differences in their diet rather than regional differences. Even though all of eastern North America’s House Finches are descended from the same few birds released on Long Island (meaning they’re much more closely related to each other than they are to birds across the West), there aren’t any strong differences in size, shape, or color between the two regions.

A red-browed finch, Neochmia temporalis, standing on pigeon grass, Setaria sp. on which it was feeding. Pigeon grass is an introduced plant and has become a weed in parts of Australia.

Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for the kind comments and faves.

... we hope.

Oriental green finches (Chloris sinica) were feeding at a tree top. Since there were abundant foods, one of it might become careless. In Nagoya, Japan.

This very bright male was in a shadowy space. I like the way a shaft of light illuminated the Finch and part of his spruce bough perch.

Purple Finch interesting name, but not exactly purple just red.

Here's our orange coloured male House Finch (Carpodacus mexicanus) I find this little guy quite photogenic!

I love rain, but seeing sunlight this morning prompted a need to capture little finches in a rhododendron.

Experimented with a subtle, I hope, vignette to lessen the many buds and twigs.

Thanks for looking. Comments mostly off...I'm a tad behind in my own comments.

As I was photographing the Hummingbirds feeding on the Red Hot Pokers, this male House Finch flew in and posed for a few photos!

Slightly less well known than its lookalikes (House Finch and Purple Finch), the Cassin’s Finch is the characteristic rosy-tinged finch of the mountains of western North America.

The Cassin’s Finch was first collected on an 1850s expedition to the southwestern mountains by the Pacific Railroad Survey. The eminent ornithologist John Cassin, who created illustrations for the survey, called the pink-tinged finch the “greatest bird in the lot.” Cassin asked his friend and colleague Spencer Baird to name the new species after him.
