Infrequent visitors

These two house finches had been sitting on another wire with a large group of sparrows, making a racket. Suddenly the finches were next to me, so I grabbed a couple of shots without having time to adjust my settings. I haven’t seen any finches around here for at least a couple of years.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

Love the way the one on the left is looking at the other one.

Nice capture. They're pretty common, here. I prefer them to the non-native House Sparrows.
