I am lucky to have so many birds visit my property. This one looked different today, so I snapped a picture. There wasn't much time as he flew off quickly. He looked very pale , almost white and was up on the power line. I did the best I could. Notice his beak, a nutcracker, like a cardinal or grosbeak I thought. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/melcon6/turkeys/birds%20and%20butterflies/021.jpg)

Alright, but it seemed kinda big for a finch, but I was fiddling with the camera too trying to get the shot before she took off. I thought she was about the size of a robin. I'm going out there now to stalk the birds some more . Maybe I'll get a better look.
