Wow!!!!!! It is brave in the cold….
It is! 😀
You are doing some wonderful photography and it looks like you are really enjoying your new home.
I am so happy to be here! Thank you so much, Robert!
We are lucky to have the house finches year round. They are at our feeders often but right the mockingbirds have a nest and guard the feeders. Not many birds are hanging out there at the moment. They will be back in time. Beautiful colors enhanced by the snow! 😊
How wonderful that they’re there all year round! When I lived in Calif. they were year-round but here they’re just migrants. It’s a weird change, but there are other birds that make it it wonderful and awesome. I’m glad you know the same and they’ll be back! Knowing nature’s rhythms is something I hope to master in my lifetime, but fear I won’t even though some of it is easy to see if one is paying attention.
Yes, they will be back. We are fortunate in Florida because we have many residents and in Jacksonville, we are in the main migration route north, south and west. It is pretty awesome. 😊
😀 You have wonderful birds in FL! I hope to get back there in Winter to do some birding and see the beautiful Spoonbills and many others. It is pretty awesome!
I hope you get back down here too. Where do you like to go?
I’ve only been there twice and have been a tourist both times, and spent very little time birding. I have a list of reserves/refuges I’d love to visit and bird there, but top priority would be spending a few days at my Mom’s.
I birded Honeymoon Beach when I visited her a couple of years ago and that netted me a tern and gull I’d never seen before.
Oh … that could be your holiday card! So sweet and perfect with the snow on the branches.
Oh, thank you so much, Denise! I love that idea.
Sooo pretty!
my first impression was, in the thick of winter… is it more wintery at your new place than where you lived before? Hope you continue your watercolors with birds …!
Great post! Love the photograph!
Thank you so much, Kendal! Hope you and the Bird Man are doing well!
Welcome! We are successfully hiding out!
The finch adds a welcome bit of color to your winter scene. And look at that thorny frame.
Those thorns are awful! We trim those Olive trees every year to keep the view and they really punch a poke! Some of them are nearly 2 inches long!
I suppose the birds love them for protection though.
You could hang this on a wall, Deborah! Stunning! And to think, you were there.🙂
Thank you so much, Erica! I just may print it! ❤️
I love watching the finches flit here and there. Beautiful capture, Deborah!!
I love watching them too. Thank you so much, Amy!
Great photo!!
Thank you so much, Pam! 😀
It looks especially nice against the snow. Thankfully, we don’t have any here right now, although we are getting rain today. I managed to get most of my trips to Goodwill’s drop off done yesterday in the lovely sunshine. Today was a good day to be working in the basement, garage, and other parts of the house. 😉

I hope you’re getting everything done that you need to without too much stress!
Can’t so there isn’t stress, but I’m getting it done. Three more days to work. 🙂
Beautiful image!
Thank you so much, Brian! Hope all is well with you and yours!
Beautiful photo, wonderful setting.
Thank you so much, Belinda! It was a magical morning.
How perfectly lovely, Deborah. I can almost hear the bird singing. Hugs on the wing!
Thank you, Teagan! Hugs back at you! xx
This is so lovely, with the bird perfectly placed. You’re right, he does look very serious!
Thank you so much, Melissa! Very serious. Probably not happy about my taking his picture. 😀
The little sweetie.
He was, but too serious! Thank you so much, Cheryl! xx
That’s a beautiful photo, Deborah. I love the composition with him having a nice open space.
Thank you, Dan! He looks so serious doesn’t he?
He does
How beautiful, Deborah! ❤
I thought he was too. Thank you so much, Donna! xx
Super photo, Deborah.
Thank you so much, John!
😊
I really enjoyed this sweet photo, Deborah. Vibrant house finch color on this fresh snow day, his little feet seemed to have been there long enough to clear the snow on his branch.
Thank you so much, Jet! 😀
Beautiful photo of a sweet little bird.
[When I read your title at first I thought it said: House Phone. Like back in the day when fancy hotel lobbies had phones for their guests. I thought, where has she been that she saw one of those? Of course, I reread the title and said to myself: duh!]
LOL! You know I still had my Trimline Princess Rotary dial phone this time last year, but it went into the dumpster with a lot of other stuff when we cleaned out our old house to sell it and move. There’s a part of me that thinks I should have kept it for nostalgia’s sake, but…it’s gone.
Thank you so much for the giggle this morning, Ally! 🤣
Handsome little guy against that white background. Hope he stays around and visits again.
Thank you so much, Judy! I hope they stick around awhile too. We still have a few White Crowned Sparrows so maybe he will.
Hey DZ did you get a new toy, how do you like the Fuji?
Hi Dan! Yes, I did! I shared a couple of weeks back how birding here requires more walking and my D810+200-500mm+tripod at 11 pounds is just too heavy! So, I did a lot of research and narrowed down my choices and decided on this Fuji kit.
I am really pleased with it so far. The menu and controls are taking time to become second nature, but with each day it’s gets better. Plus it’s only 4.2 pounds!
I am even thinking about adding a wide to mid-tele range lens and use this system for travel.
