    More Birds...

    Let me start by saying I wish I had a better lens at the time. I only had a 105mm (168) at my disposal since I found out my 100-300mm is busted.

    After giving up on getting any birds in my camera, I pass by this leafless tree and waited, waited, and waited.....until these guys showed up. There was serious croppage in these shots but I'll just tell myself, "I'll be better prepared next time. That tree ain't going anywhere."

    I'm just happy to have these at all.

    Next time, I'll get them in the air.....somehow.

    After using Google, my guess would be Common Redpole Finch? Close?
