House finch by the pond…

We finally got a bit of real snow last night, and the skies were even that beautiful bright blue for a while this morning, but I’m pressed for time today, so here’s the one picture I took this morning that best captures all of that.

I thought it was a house finch, but I’ve since learned that it is actually a female purple finch.
