Could it be a Verdin? He is keeping the plant balanced :-)

Maybe it is a type of finch.

It's a poser.

Great composition, Sharon. Too bad that bird doesn't know how lovely it is!

I believe it's a house finch. I look at some pretty great birding blogs - that's the only way I would have learned that!

What a wonderful shot, Sharon! Love the bird, the composition and that blurred background. Great job.

The lighting is lovely in this shot.
Kathy is right, that is a house finch. We have some nesting in the backyard.

An Excellent use of DOF, looks like he just raided the jam pot with his red head.

Looks like a house finch. Great shot. I see it's friend is trying to hide.

I have one in the tree near my house that sings every morning around 6am. Even on the weekend.

Yes, I agree it looks to be a house finch. I love how they sing.

The other bird in the photo blends in with the plant and is almost invisible next to that redhead. Great capture, Sharon!
