Human males don't know nothing about "dressing to impress" when compared to these guys.


This is the very first time I've ever been able to get a preening shot this close.

There was a male goldfinch (in full color) singing at my feeder the other day. I admit I was smitten.

I think the birds have men who drive fancy cars beat! Maia agrees, she loves watching the birds, and honestly hates men and cars

Yeah - they are beautiful but the male cardinals are the "flashy red sportscar" of the song bird world!

They're something. I have one that has my backyard as part of his territory. I don't know what he was doing on top of my running ac unit the other day.. We had some stockade fence panels out leaning against another part of the fence before. He tried to land on what would have been the top of the fence, when that part was sideways and was alarmed when he slid off. So he sure is flashy, but doesn't have the sense his mate does.

They are so lovely and flashy!

Great shot Mike. What an impressive looking fellow. I just love the blue head.
