Purple Finch: Kennebunk, Maine, USA \u2014 I got out the photo blind for the first time this spring yesterday, as we are getting enough action to make it worth my time. I am thinking this at least a potential pair of Purple Finches. It is hard to tell if the \u201cfemale\u201d is actually a female or just (just?) an first year male\u2026I see a hint of wash under the chin\u2026if it stays around I will keep my eye on this bird. The male is unmistakable\u2026and this one was in display mode\u2026not full mating display with the fluttering wings\u2026but he certainly wanted to be noticed. Note the erect crest and the puffed out chin\u2026as well as the aggressive posture. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixomator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 320 and 400 @ f4 @ 1\/500th. <\/p>\n
