Description
We’ve had overcast almost all day today, so I went out to the blind for a bit this afternoon to see what kind of action there might be. It was pretty slow, but I did have a few species show up. I think this is a house finch, but it could be a purple as we get both and the youngsters look a lot alike. The curve of the upper mandible is supposed to be pretty diagnostic, but it didn’t give me a really good angle to look at it.
Specific Feedback
The background was very bright in the original and I didn’t do much to increase it, though I did bring the bird and perch down a trifle. Does this crop work with the head turn?
