Purple Finch on Crabapple
We were standing in someone's driveway in northern New Jersey waiting, along with a handful of other birders, for a reported rare visitor from the west coast to put in an appearance. When he (a Black-headed Grosbeak) finally appeared it was a bit of a letdown -- no good photo ops. But while we waited this male Purple Finch perched in the apple tree where the Grosbeak had been sighted earlier. I might have cropped tighter, but I liked the surrounding flower buds framing the little Finch.
