A nice visit by a not so common bird

[RobAmy]

Well friday I had this Purple Finch visit our feeders and stream. They are not that common in our yard, not rare but always a brief sighting. Finally he landed on a nice perch for this shot.

Pretty birdy
I like the sound the finches make fluttering around when they visit my tree by the pond. There is something they like to eat on it.

Love birds, so much fun to see what comes to visit and it changes as the season changes.
