Purple?

This is a House Finch, but it sure looks a lot like a Purple Finch. Interesting to see one at Big Woods this week.

I have been posting daily photos on this blog for a little over seven years. I believe I am going to shut this site down after the 1st of 2025. I am not pleased with the service provider and both of my blogs are going to go away. I plan to continue to post daily photos. Most of you view and comments on facebook or instagram. That will be available and will not change.

I sure love the process and experice of capturing nature photos and sharing them. That will not go away .. it is my passion. Squarespace is jsut a tool I have used for a while that has lost its value.

On A Wire

It is not common for us to see a House Finch but this one was setting on a wire. We were on our way to Big Woods Reserve and I was stopped at an intersection when we saw her. Yes, I took this photo from my car.

Not So Sure ..

I belevie this is a female House Finch. It sure seems a little large, but seems right. Any other ideas?
