Carduelis tristis
One of the many finches living in the hedge row, as well as the back thicket. I hang thistle seed in this sock like feeder to attract them for viewing from the bay window, where my computer sits.

Thank you Lyndsey, Oneng, and Mayra! :-)
Fantastic!
cute...
What a beautiful little bird!! Great picture too! Nice!
Alice, thank you for the compliment. The thistle sock feeder is actually a great purchase. (very cheap I think I paid maybe 5.00 for it at one of the local farm supply stores). They last a long time too! I've had this one for about 8 years now, and it stays outside year round.
I like your picture, your story and your idea of the sock!

Thank you Gerardo! I love these little guys, they are so colorful and so much fun to watch as they are extremely social birds.
Nice shot!
