Duck, Finch, Sparrow, Cardinal.
I dipped into my "4Dec2017" folder for these. As a way of organizing my pictures, I make a folder for each month, preceded by "4" meaning "For." That's where I download the images. Ones that I've cropped (if needed) and resized go into a Print folder for the month. I size them even smaller for use on this blog, put my name on them, and save them in a current folder. Right now it's called 2020December.
I don't always crop or sign cell phone pictures, and I rarely print them because they are a small file size. Today's photos were taken with a camera that has a zoom lens.
As for today's subjects, the first two are females. Mrs. Duck is a mallard. I thought the second bird was a purple finch; the female does not have the bright scarlet colors of the male. However, some readers who are experienced birders tell me this is a sparrow.
Today's red bird is a male northern cardinal.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThey are all great photos, pretty captures of the birds. Take care, have a happy day!
...the cardinal is the winner for me.
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely birds!
ReplyDeleteHowever, I think your "finch" is a White-throated Sparrow. They breed in Canada, but come south for the Winter. There is a birding website called All About Birds that I find very helpful. You might want to take a look.
Have a blessed day!
Thanks. I didn’t have a front view to compare.
DeleteBeautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I keep mine in months then have a book made of my social media photos which I can flip through to find a place I went to. I only use my iPhone to take photos though.
ReplyDeleteNice little bird trio. I caught sight of just the corner of that white throat, but a bird is a bird by any name.
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs, the cardinal is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Beautiful birds. I follow the way my Mac organizes my photos, by place, and date. But unfortunately blogger doesn't recognize my system, and I have to choose between "downloads" or "photos."
ReplyDeleteYour second picture is not a female House Finch. It is either a female House Sparrow, or perhaps a White-throated Sparrow, but I lean towards the former.
