A mating pair of house finches are making our yard their own this spring.

The pair above made their way to our feeders and water supply over the last week and they seem like they are staying for the long haul.

The awesome sunset light that we had on Saturday really brought out the beautiful colors in this male (sorry girls).

I have been playing around with where to put the bird bath, opting for just in front of a big Spruce tree most of the smaller birds like to hide in. It seems to have worked pretty well. Now I have to get rid of those squirrels……
