Ah, beautiful Ron. It's good to see a real Purple Finch rather than a fake House(Purple) Finch. :)

Excellent shots.

Great poses and details in the finches, a bird that passes through my yard rarely. Colors are striking. Nice work!

Great shots. The robin picture is pretty cool because right outside the window in my math class is a nesting robin who just had 2 little babies hatch! Must have been a cool thing to see that close

Very Well done...

The first shot is great! Love the crest here, and the little bud is just right.
