We have several pairs of purple finches that come daily to our feeders. I took this shot of a male through our open patio doorway using the Sigma 50-500 on a Manfroto tripod.

Wonderful,Stephen!
This is my favorite bird!
Earlier in the spring I had a pair around here. I have not seen them for awhile now.
Here is a link to a pic I took of the one here.
