funny you used a bird for the 15ths pad. I was going to but I had SPS (Self Portrait Saturday, join us?) Anyhow, we have a gold finch living in a bush near out giant back set of windows. This bird, for MONTHS now flys and pecks at the same spot on one of those windows. We have put up stickers, taped a paper plate, newspapers and even got out cat a perch to sit in. This bird tap- TAP tap, tapppppp tap. all day, sun up to sun down. Going to shoot it today both with Nikon and red ryder…

What a lovely capture! I've no idea what kind of bird it is.

Hubert Steed		15-Feb-2014 19:06
Looks like it could be in the Red-Headed Finch or from the amadina erythrocephala family, but this variety could be possibly from South Africa and somehow found its way to the San Diego area? Seehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-headed_Finch Nice photo. V
