Winter Photograph: Leaf & Bird

 I believe the bird is a male house finch. The leaf might be an maple leaf.

  1. Very peaceful scene. I think I see little buds on the tree too.

  2. The birds help to ease the long winter, don't they?

      They certainly do. It is a comfort to see so many waiting in the trees
      for me to put out warm birdseed.

  3. So neat that you know the birds' and leaves' names. I know the ones who regularly stop by for a visit, but the others, not so much.

      Regular birds are easier to remember.
      There are 13 species of maple trees in Vermont forests.

      They are a nice addition to the regular birds that stop by. I don’t see them often though.

      The hoses finches just showed up this week here. Maybe the blizzard in southern New England put them on the hunt for new food sources.

      The male finches do add a nice touch of color.

      The top one is a maple leaf. I had to zoom because it does look like a bird from a distance.

  9. It's nice that the leaf and the bird had the same predominant color.

    1. Beatrice,
      Thankfully the light was just right because at a closer look, the colors are a shade off.

  10. Great shot. At first I thought the leaf was a second bird.
