House Finch feeding at the bird feeder
Several House Finches visited the bird feeder on a cold sunny Winter morning. Included are two images I like because of the light and the action/emotion of the birds.
Photographed handheld with the Canon 7D Mark II and the Canon EF 100-400 MM F/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens through a window. Post-processed in Adobe Lightroom CC.
Thanks for stopping by today!
