Late this afternoon in west central Missouri:

House Finch. Carpodacus mexicanus.
Canon 5D III, 2.8 70-200 mm., 2x III.
F 5.6, 1/320, ISO 800, 400 mm.

Just a reminder – they’re the tiny descendants of dinosaurs who are biding their time until they are once again large enough to chase us all down. Contemplate that shattering seed on a larger scale.

Face off:

House Sparrow. Passer domesticus [left]. House Finch. Carpodacus mexicanus [right].
Canon 5D III, 2.8 70-200 mm., 2x III.
F 5.6, 1/250, ISO 800, 400 mm.

Though little, they are very aggressive.

Dark-eyed Junco. Junco hyemalis.
Canon 5D III, 2.8 70-200 mm., 2x III.
F 5.6, 1/250, ISO 400, 400 mm.

As if to say, “What are you looking at?”
