Male House Finch Dines Solo in my Garden

This collage features nine images of a male House finch sitting upon a metal saucer where he is nibbling on seeds. He is  about 6 inches in length and has a square tail. As for his plumage, he is brightly colored; has a reddish-burgundy or red on his head, neck, and upper breast. He has what is known as a a conical bill, well-suited for cracking seeds.

I came across these pictures I took of an adorable male House finch who was dining solo and al fresco in my garden.

Given my new NF (Neurofibromatosis) symptom that I spoke about in a posting on FB, I am especially thankful that I can find joy in these called little things (such as the presence of this particular bird), for I recognize that there are many people who do not feel uplifted or consoled by such happenings.

FYI, House finches are featured (along with many other bird varieties) in my books. Their covers can be seen in the next three images and more info a given book an be found within another post within this blog. Click here to access it.
