This is the time of the year when the finches move in to feed on birch bloom. I supplement with seven feeders, both sunflower and niger seed. By placing some dead branches in close proximity to the feeders, I create "studios" for the birds to perch and have their images made, without the manmade feeder in the image. Here are a variety of finch images, showing breeding plummage, coloration, and a variety of poses, front and back. Taken with the D70, 912mm focal length.
