Victor D Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Found an exactly one year old picture. Taken in Canada, BC, Coquitlam. Colony Farm And of course still in a search of Purple Finch :)) Hope this one is Purple...or House? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Looks good for a Purple to me! The shadows on the face did throw me off for a bit though. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I agree with Purple, but do you have other shots? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you all, Yes, I have a couple more pictures. Hope it will help. Basically they are taken from the same angle though... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birding Boy Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 @Victor D The second shot helps a lot, since we can see the distinctive Purple Finch face pattern now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for delay, IKLland I use P900 Nikon. Not DSLR. It is just long zoom, but hard to get sharp picture, especially with zoom completely extended...After seeing other people pics I am not happy with results. Camera has certain limitation. Slow, AF is not accurate and fast, almost no chance to get bird in a fly.... But thank you !! Edited June 25, 2021 by Victor D 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, the zoom is great, but the autofocus is very slow, and the sharpness isn't great. It's a starter camera for me ( as I'm still a new birder), but i will( later this year) be getting my first dslr. My current camera is a panasonic FZ-80, which i managed to get for $260! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even managed to drop mine and crack lenses... Dos not really affect anything as crack is on a side of the lens... But I was pretty devastated when it happened 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
