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?
