During the early part of my last trip to Timberline Lodge on July 1st, I spent a fair amount of time shooting Cassin's Finches. They were out in large numbers in the grove of trees northeast of the lodge.
I noticed an area on the east side of the grove that was especially active, so I decided to sit just outside where the morning sunlight would be good. It didn't take long before a few finches started showing up and pretty much ignored me.
The finch above perched so close to me that I had to back off my zoom a little (not something I do very often). The light was great, the bird was great, resulting in a nice photo.
Beautiful shot! I've seen these guys in Central Oregon, but never like that.
