Apparently turf is a serious issue for birds when it comes to food and bad weather. Sort of like when people rush to clean out their local grocery store when the forecast is bad.

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.
