  1. Sunflower Snack

    There are a lot of house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus) around right now. The males seem especially bright this year — richer reds than I remember, though maybe that’s just me. This guy grabbed a sunflower seed and settled in. House finches are grazers; when they come to a feeder, they stay and eat. Other birds, like chickadees and woodpeckers, are snatchers — they grab a seed and fly off to a nearby tree to eat it. It’s an interesting contrast in feeding styles.

    Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

  4. The house finch came to supervise.

    Apparently the way to summon a house finch is to start sketching them badly and they will come to correct you.

    He sang a lovely song for me. I'm pretty sure it was all cuss words but they were pretty cuss words.

  5. A house finch gets too excited about seed

    This house finch forgot what it was doing, realized it couldn’t eat anything with nesting material in its beak, and flies off.

  6. The grownup finches have brought the Very Big Babies to the feeding station, where the babies eat some seeds and then go into the baby tremble: daddy daddy feeeeeed me! Daddy? Daddy? Foooooood!

  7. Gentle Gaze

    Imagine how a person who loves fishing must feel if they can walk out their back door and cast a line. That’s how I feel about my backyard—but instead of fishing, I sit outside and watch and photograph the visitors. There are about ten or so species that are regulars this time of year. House Finches (Haemorhous mexicanus), like this little female whose gaze is locked on mine, stay around for most of the year.

  9. A couple of red birds at the feeder

    I cleared out a path on the deck to refill the feeder last night. Of course the first visitor of the morning was a squirrel, but by mid-morning the birds had returned including this house finch before being displaced by a northern cardinal.

  10. Winter Assembly

    I snapped this image this morning of one of my bird feeders. Cold weather drives birds to seek extra energy, and they flock to the feeders when it’s low. Clearly, I need to refill this one. But it’s chilly out there—and since I took the photo through the glass of my storm door while wearing gym shorts and a T-shirt, I’m not stepping outside just yet.
