8. Among the most misidentified birds. Thanks for the distinguishing tips!

I've seen only a few purple finches here, but we're rotten with house finches.

5. Nice shot. The fence post adds a bit of visual interest

Not that the bird couldn’t hold its own!

7. Thanks, Diamond_Dog!

The fence is probably original to my neighbor's yard and at least a century old.

17. One Coed made a phone call

About half an hour later, two nice entomologists showed up with a big butterfly net and a warm, white jacket for me. I don’t remember the next couple weeks

18. That's weird

I see baby finches after they do that.
