finches Archives • Into the Light Adventures

The World of Finches, Finches are a colorful addition to any back yard and to our bird list if we have one. Which I am up to 137 now. There is one bird on this post that I don’t know what it is, mostly black with a bit of yellow under the bill.

Plus a video link to my You Tube channel showing a Green Heron hunting fish, I think I forgot to add this one a few days ago, Link Here; Green Heron

Lesser Goldfinch

Gold Finch

I don’t know what this one is. If anyone has a guess let me know and I will add it to my list.

Friday Birding My Favorite Thing

By Sandra | April 26, 2021

Friday Birding My Favorite Thing, every now and than the beautiful Pileated Woodpecker stops by. Never in a great spot for a photo. He likes to be up very high and there are always sticks blocking my view of him. But, you can still see his red feathers on top of his head. Such a gorgeous bird.

The dainty and lovable Chickadees are always out and about

The Nut Hatch Bird, this is my first photo of this tiny bird. They are just as fast as the chickadees. He looks all bright eyed and cheery in this photo below.

I don’t know if he is blinking or giving me the stink eye.

I know this bird is a finch, but I am not quite sure which one. There are so many that have a touch of red, ruby colored feathers. So I will just go with the term Finch for now.

Have a Great Weekend

The Female Pine Grosbeak

By Sandra | January 28, 2021

The Female Pine Grosbeak, I had just a couple more photos showing a little bit more of the female Pine Grosbeak, just as beautiful as the male, showing her golden crown and soft gray body.

Males are normally more colorful in the bird world. But I think the females have a softer beauty that makes them shine.

So, as of this year I have photographed 3 of the 7 kinds of Grosbeaks.

Below is the Evening Grosbeak Male.

Female Evening Grosbeak

And the Rose Breasted Grosbeak

The other 4 Grosbeaks are;

Crimson Grosbeak – Found mostly in Mexico
Blue Grosbeak – Found in most area of the States
The Black Headed Grosbeak – Found mostly out west, Canada & Mexico
Yellow Grosbeak – Also found in Mexico

The 4 photos above, I just took off the internet, but someday I may take a photo of them myself. That is the fun part of Bird Photography, one just never knows what we will see when we stop to enjoy nature.
