    This was taken at my backyard set-up. The House Finch was fighting with a juvenile Baltimore Oriole. I like the fighting pose and puffed up look. The House Finch was the eventual winner despite the size disadvantage. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

    Jim - I agree with everything Gail said and would add that I like the parallel diagonals of the perch and finch.

    TFS,

    Hi Jim, one of your best. Excellent IQ, and I really like the detail you have brought out on the finch. Tack sharp, and I do like the reds on him too. Another great BG.
