The pretty little female House Finch I posted yesterday became friendlier toward her mate as the day wore on. By dinnertime, she permitted him to visit the feeder for peanuts. The evening sun snuck 'round the house to illuminate the handsome fellow.
@ziggy77 Thank you, Jo! It was quite dim out there by this point, and the sun entered the scene just as I began snapping. I think this bird was quite happy with the warmth of the sun on its back and a full feeder in front.
@thresheg Thanks much for the kind comment and fav, Graham! I'm thrilled to have an image of both the male and the female now. I enjoy watching them so much!
@pixiemac Thank you for your comment and fav, Sarah! This is the male, and I posted the female yesterday. They are quite common around here, and we really enjoy watching them!
@lyndemc Thanks you, Denise! Loved watching them. Chuckled a few times as she zoomed at him to drive him away. Females bossing males around isn't something we normally see. Perhaps she got up on the wrong side of the nest? ;-)
