Yellow fellows

4:00 p.m. Just getting back home when we spotted these guys in the backyard...

I must apologize again for my poor camera and the quality of the pictures, I think you can click on the pictures to enlarge them and see them better, the birds are between 10 to 12 cm long, so, it wasn't easy to get the pics with a simple sony cybershot 7.1! (thanks Tommy for your help!)

Two Saffron Finch (Sicalis Flaveola) were 'walking' around, looking for food in the garden. Over here we call that bird Chirigüe Azafranado or Botón de Oro (something like 'Button of Gold'). It might not show properly in the pictures but these guys are very bright.


If you enlarge the next picture you will find it ready to eat, to capture something that got its attention...

This picture helped me check out the feathers and the tail...


Last picture before leaving, with a twig in the beak, I wonder where are they nesting! I sooo want to find out!
