He's lovely Kerri! The males are really starting to get into their breeding plumage now. Won't be long, we'll start hearing the chirping of new life. :c)
ReplyDeletePretty!
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the warmer weather too. Spring is on the way! Another great photo!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! Pretty bird.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. We are expecting rain as well, which saddens me. But you are correct that it will bring forth the green grass and the lovely flowers! Theresa
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday Kerri! I'm jealous of your warmer weather! That's a beautiful shot, I love how much the bird stands out against the background!
ReplyDeleteAw, he's adorable, Kerri! They seem to be such gregarious little birds -- always gathering at the feeder in large numbers here...
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, hasn't the warmer weather been wonderful? Such a boost for the spirits!
Youv'e got warm weather and I'm freezing over here. Thanks for sharing the cheerful and colourful visitor. FAB.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!! You seem to get the birds in all the right poses.

You are so lucky having all those beautiful birds hanging around your house! Not too much of them here -too many cars and traffic and human noise (I would avoid that too if I could!).
ReplyDeleteThis gentleman has beautiful colors!
Beautiful photo, Kerri!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how good a bit of warm weather can make us feel.
Beautiful colour.
ReplyDeleteHe is indeed handsome! I have a male and female house finch that hang out in a Taxus baccata right outside my studio window; remarkable to watch then early in the morning and late at nigh.
ReplyDeleteI really hope you see this! Hop over to my blog to pick up your Beautiful Blogger Award! Love your pics!
