The House finch is not the most attractive bird in the world but it has character all its own. In the low sun of a late afternoon in October this migrating finch takes on a unique warmth. I was on a photoprowl looking for fallish shots along the Kennebunk Bridle Path when this bird flew up into a tree right beside me. I had the wrong camera of course, but even the relatively short zoom on the Samsung was enough as the bird was that close!
