The male house finch that built Mama Finch’s nest has quite the bright plumage, even if he is a bit on the scruffy side.
More importantly, he’s taken to perching on the Really Excellent Stick that I have propped up nearby.
From here he can keep an eye on the nest up above and behind me to the left from this view, as well as the hummingbird feeder above his head. This is also a favorite perch of Little Bastard, from which he can guard “his” feeder and ignore the finches.
It’s a Really Excellent Stick!
