    Harbingers of Spring

    For the past couple weeks the House finches have returned to my balcony to make their nest. From what I understand they are an invasive species where I live, but I will be doing more research to confirm. I laid on my living room floor for about 20min with my camera taking pictures of them while drinking my coffee. I The red plumage of the male finch is especially captiviating.

    Welcome!

    This is my first post on my website. Tall Grass Encounters is meant to be half a photoblog of my day-to-day life, and half a dispassionate list of every living thing I stumble across. Hopefully, I can increase in photography skill and wildlife knowledge on this journey and I hope you can all grow with me! Additionally, Some of these initial posts may not be in chronological order as I work through a back catalogue of photos. -Mina
