It's been a while since I last posted. It's really hard to motivate myself to go out in below freezing temperature environment. Well, summer is almost here and that means birding season for us in this part of the world. I was blessed to get this lifer in one of my early visit to a local park for this year. 7D + 400mm + 1.4TC, f9, ISO 100, 1/160s, Manual Exposure, Manual Focusing, Tripod 7D + 400mm + 1.4TC, f9, ISO 400, 1/500s, Manual Exposure, Manual Focusing, Tripod 7D + 400mm + 1.4TC, f9, ISO 400, 1/500s, Manual Exposure, Manual Focusing, Tripod

Hi Conrad, Curved culmen. Carpodacus. In North America. House Finch Thanks for the correction Steve. I had a hard time identifying between the two. I'm using the Sibley's book as my reference and I gave more preference on the "distinctly notched tail' rather than the bill shape.

I wonder why the colors come in blotches. They look like they were placed there for decor. Thank you for sharing your pictures & Mabuhay.
