A male house finch feeding it's young. I captured this one while sitting on our deck one afternoon. The birds returned to the feeding station after a summer rain. I had never seen a male feed it's young seeds in this way. The youngster must really enjoy the seed I put in the feeder.

The shutter speed was 1/15 aperture f3.5 on my olld Canon Powershot S2 IS.

Outstanding shot ! I know how hard it is to make a good shot with birds ;)
Amazing image Rob. Well captured.
What was your shutter speed to have the youngster whole body in motion while it's legs look sharp.
A Fabulous Capture!
That's a wonderful shot, I just love those little wings in motion...baby bird seems bigger than dad or is it just the puffed out feathers?
Fantastic!! Bravo!!!
superbe, un oiseau en mouvement et l'autre fixe, cela rend vraiment très bien.
superb, a bird in motion and fixed, it makes it really well.
I too had not seen a male feeding its young before this. Nice that you were able to capture the moment.
Pretty cool!

Great one DL!
Oh wow! That is a great photo.
This is incredible photography. Accident or design? Very striking image.
AWESOME !!! I want to paint that now....
The movement on the wings, and the red is my favorite part.
A very sweet domestic scene! Isn't it fun when you can capture a moment like this??
Oh my gosh! That is incredible and so sweet. You were definitely there at the right time.
I've never seen a photo like this! I have house finches, too and I love giving them a home in my Blue Spruce!
I am slightly envious of your finch photo:0)
What a fabulous shot and it's my favorite!
Oh my God!!! what a great photo...
Just got back from vacation, happy 2009.
Wow what a fabulous photo. I love every thing about it! Such a big reward for the small effort of putting feed out. Well done you!
