Description
💕 Come visit more of my bird photography, in my "Desert Birds" Collection💕
We have many Sonoran Desert dwellers, who have made our Arizona home, their home. The House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus), is common in our natural desert acre. It can be very difficult to photograph them, as there is a lot of native desert plants to hide in.
We have a lot of tall ocotillos, that is one of those desert plants, but not as a hideout, but rather a lookout, landing spot, stopping point, or maybe just to rest. They are used by many different birds as a vantage point, including this male house finch, who has once again gone to the very tippy top, along with a female companion.
The time of year is autumn. They seemed to want to hang out for a while at the top of this particularly large ocotillo, but still fluttering all about. I did manage to pull off some shots with my new zoom camera, alone and together. Look for that series of playful images.

Handsome fellow, love hearing them lecture the neighborhood! LF
Janet Marie replied:
They don’t lecture quite as loud as our cactus wren or even our thrashers, the woodpeckers being the most obnoxious. Thank you Kate, for visiting and sharing your wonderful comment. I really appreciate it! Janet💕
