Funny! That one finch is being so stoic and pan faced, just as if it is being scolded!
I love the title!
Chuck Gardner replied
Hi Dee, they were so funny to watch that day one was feeding then the second one landed right on its back (missed shot ) then it jump off and pecked at it head like you see in this shot.

Thank you Mary-Ann, The sun came out for a few this morning so I just got back from taking a couple of good shots of a great egret before it started to rain again. LOL

beautiful capture of the grooming.. so that’s a thistle.. :0)
Chuck Gardner replied
Thank you StarKatz, You don’t have thistles there? Funny they were imported here from Europe for making of wool yarn with the spinning wheel in the colonial days. Now they are all over the US as wild flowers.

We may do, however I’ve never personally had known of any locally :0)
