House Finch

MALE HOUSE FINCH (CARPODACUS MEXICANUS), EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, FEBRUARY 20, 2012

ISO 800


The colorful, cheerful and gregarious House Finch makes a nice change from the ubiquitous sparrows, with whom the species often hangs out. Today this male tarried just long enough for me to snap its portrait before it took off for the trees.
