The juveniles are starting to arrive and the parents are feeding them.  These two house finches arrived in the neighborhood of my feeders this morning around 8:30 AM

Beautiful capture, David.  You really captured the moment.  Nice perch and background, with great detail in the birds.

I haven't seen feeding yet, but I'm pretty sure I've been seeing baby finches around, just from the way they fly.  This is a sweet image with that typical begging pose.  Well done.

Cool behavioral image with good detail.  If this is a feeder setup, perhaps a more attractive perch?
