Sunday bird blogging

I took so many pictures of finches when I was in the Bay Area last year that it only seems fair to show one of their East Coast relatives. This is a house finch in Central Park, and one of the first pictures that came out really well after I started to make a serious effort to learn what I was doing when photographing birds.

And then of course, it was also the last good picture for a while. Life is always one step forward, two steps back.
