House finches...to love them or to hate them? Here's the story. They are native to Mexico and the Western United States, but were brought into the NYC area as cage birds in the 1930's. When pet stores found out they were a protected species (almost all passerines are), they released them, and the released birds began to breed. From those few dozen birds, the population of house finches in the northeastern states grew to over 10 million, and they began to spread southward. The first accepted record of one appearing in Florida was in 1983. The birds now breed as far south as Tampa and Lakeland, with some isolated colonies appearing even farther south. The malel house finch's color can vary from yellow to red, with the females seeming to prefer the reddest males. So...they don't really belong here, but they sure are pretty, and I suspect there is not one thing we can do about them being here, so we may as well enjoy them. Great pictures, Kara! Thanks for sharing! Marcia

Did your bamboo supplier give you a free machete with the plants? You may need one come Labor Day...(smile) I had a greatuncle that spent the summer in Cedar Falls and the winter in Punta Gorda, FL...just after WWII he planted some bamboo next to the FL house garage...when he died in 1980 he was still trying to kill that stand of bamboo! Of course, the IA winter may keep your's in check... Pete in IF

Best if you can keep it all on one thread, it will make the input you get more cohesive. Here is a link to your first post last week Please Help "Hi. I am in the middle of a move. New home will have an open floor plan. Kitchen opens to family room & dining room. Cognac color cabinets (med/dark), wood floors (also med/dark) light/med granite and very light backsplash. My colors now are greens, reds, little yellow. I had a French country love at one time. I still am drawn to those colors. However, I also love the beach and am moving 2 miles from it. I have started over the past few years to re-do bedrooms & bathroom in blues. When I move one spare bd will have light/med blue and white quilt and white furniture. 2nd bed will be navy/red comforters on twin beds and navy, red stripe and checked pillows and valance. So, what to do about family room and kitchen. Hard to give up my accessories in greens/reds/yellow, but really love the blues and seashells and lighter coloring. Oh, and my dining set is white with med/dark green coverings that I re-did few years back. New sectional will be a sandy/oatmeal/tan color. OK, so what's a girl to do?? Any sites you can recommend? I need panels in the kitchen over my slider. And a coordinating valance or panels in DR since 2 rooms are adjacent. I truly love both styles. " You asked in one of the other threads about using ticking stripe for window treatments. I think that ticking stripe is definitely a good look for coastal decorating, and is good for the lighter furniture you have. IMO there is a huge difference between oatmeal and camel. Do you have a picture of the sofa and the sofa fabric you'll be using? Do you have pictures of the flooring? Pictures of the granite? Med-light covers a lot of ground - is it busy or quiet? It might be good to put together some mood boards with your different elements. You can do that using a simple Paint program, or Powerpoint, or an online program like polyvore. hope this helps you

Excellent, very nice!

They are all great captures but I really like the one in flight.

We have all the same birds here except for the rose beck and the finches here are different colours.

Thanks for posting.

You take a fantastic photos!!! Really. And this one in flight looks great. I have also a Nikon (I like taking a photos very much), but I usually take a photos of flowers, trees, clouds, etc. Maybe, when I'll get more experience, I'll also try to take a photos of moving objects more frequently;-)

I also love the dove in flight. All of them look nice and sharp.
We are fortunate to get Rose-breasted grosbeaks here where I am in Minnesota, but alas, no cedar waxwings.

If I thought they would attract those beutiful Waxwings here (Ga.), I'd quit cutting down the mulberries.

Very nice! I don't think I've ever seen a cardinal in the wild. I never noticed their beaks are red too! So pretty. I moved to Colorado from Washington state, and one bird I miss here is the blue jay.
