During a late winter ice storm it seems this little Finch needed a drink.

An unusual image, Larry. It’s very beautiful as well. Nice work. You get my vote.
Thank you
As I was browsing along on Birdspotter, I noticed your interesting photo and my curiosity was piqued? Is the finch holding the tip of the icicle? Enlarging your photo confirmed my hunch. How many people have seen this behavior? I haven’t and I don’t think many others have.
For its uniqueness and quality – I’ll vote for your photo.
I agree with Donna and Ellen… very unique photo. Nice capture!
Beautiful, so cool that you captured the moment the house finch carefully broke of the tip of that icicle. Amazing image, and very unique. Great job
Amazing Photo!!!
Your welcome!
Can’t believe this one didn’t win compared to those other two very plain and many others like it the same. This one is so unique with him grabbing part of the icicle and everything covered in it. Winner instead in my book!! 🙂
