A rather square-headed, stripy brown finch with one stray feather in its fringe peers at us from a feeder pole.

A flock of birds. Most of you know how much I love sitting on our porch to listen to the songbirds. It seems quieter lately. Migration is ongoing but many of my morning buddies seem to be gone.

A male House Finch with red around the face and upper breast, and a streaky brown back, belly and tail, perched high up in a tree on a brown branch against a very blue sky. Seen in Norfolk, Massachusetts.

Perch Pact

A few days ago, I shared a blurry, out-of-focus image of a small brown bird mid-flight. I wasn’t certain of the species, ...

"Two birds perch side by side on a gently curved metal rod, suspended against a soft blur of background light. The rod arcs like a quiet bridge, offering a momentary stage for this feathered duet.

On the left, a female House Finch stands slender and alert. Her plumage is a tapestry of warm browns and delicate streaks, like brushstrokes across parchment. Her posture is poised yet gentle, as if she’s listening to the air. Her beak is small and conical, suited for seeds and quiet foraging. She gazes slightly forward; her body angled with subtle grace.

To her right, a male House Sparrow anchors the scene with a more compact, stout presence. His feathers are a patchwork of earthy browns and soft grays, with a hint of black near the throat—a ceremonial bib of sorts. His head is rounder, his chest broader, and his stance more grounded. He faces slightly away, as if surveying the invisible perimeter of their shared perch.

The background is a soft wash of muted tones—perhaps trees or sky—blurred into abstraction. This visual quietude draws the eye to the birds themselves, highlighting the intricate texture of their feathers and the quiet geometry of their poses." - Microsoft Copilot

A house finch cleans its beak on a tree branch at Roger's Grove Nature Area in Longmont, Colorado. Such beautiful little birds.

I guess this time of Fall is a great time for House Finches.

Good morning Bluesky. Have a beautiful day😊

A bright sunny day as a bluish grey red breasted nuthatch with a white and black striped head clings to a post as a red headed and brown feathered house finch flies past with his wings outstretched. Bright green foliage is in the background.
