I had seen the house finch while in the kitchen and thought I could maybe get a photo of it. Went into the dining room, grabbed the camera and snapped what I could see. I previewed it on the back of the camera and thought not such a great photo. Oh well such is the story of trying to takebird pictures. I glanced up and there was a cardinal on the feeder so I snapped another one.
I snapped the photo and thought that I did succeed in getting a good shot of the cardinal. While editing the photos yesterday I was surprised to see the house finch still at the feeder. He is so blended in with the cardinals tail and the feeder colors I had missed seeing it on the camera viewer. I have mentioned before that the house finches usually fly around in flocks and hit feeders in flocks. This one lonely one does show that I do have one that shows up once in a while without any other finches.

I suppose the answer is to keep clicking no matter what you see in the viewfinder. I admit I didn't see the finch as my eye was drawn to the highly coloured cardinal. Glad I had a second look.
I did not notice him either! Wonderful photo.
Beautiful cardinal! And right, I didn't notice the finch till you mentioned it!
