    Does Mrs Finch turn a cold shoulder or a blind eye to Mr Finch's stunning colours? Super photos. I'll catch up with Beep this week too. Cheers to all, Jean.

    Perfect Ruby Tuesday images. We've had a few of these at our bird feeders this winter, but cardinals dominate the woods surrounding our house.

    Beautiful captures, Karen. (I've just returned from an amazing 3 week house exchange on Vancouver Island and was captivated by the wonderful variety of birds there; it seemed to me that the cooler climate lends itself to sharper photographic results - but perhaps that's my crazy imagination!)

    Nice shots of these lovely birds. We have a couple pair that nest in Ivy that grows on the back of the house. For us they truly are house finches. I like the front and back pose of the pair.
