Recently, a small flock of finches appeared in the backyard and spent two days munching on the berries in one of the trees. To say they were messy eaters would be accurate. After a couple of days, the finches disappeared as quickly as they arrived.

Great detail once again, but oh what messy eaters they are.
Reminds me of my youngest grand- it's all about the pure joy of eating!
This was a fun posting for me. I've never seen birds get so mess eating. I think the were having a party.
I've no idea how you manage to capture such unusual images from nature! I love coming here to see your work...always a treat for the eyes :)
so cute. great views. (:
I hope they left a tip.
Always the best photos. Do you sit for hours and wait for shots like these, or are you really, really lucky?
omg, these are awesome! look how messy they are! "have you been eating berries again?" "uh...no?" :D
Tão lindas que parecem pinturas! ADOREI! beijos,chica
They are cute messy eaters. Wonderful photos, Brian!
What a mess! The detail is magnificent! Great job, once again!
Oh my goodness! I just want to take a napkin and clean off their faces. We see finches every day and I've never seen this kind of mess, but we don't have berries yet. Brilliant details in these captures.
oh my word! reminded me of those pie-eating contests with hands tied behind your back. well, guess these guys don't have hands, either. :)
This little tweeter is messy, but looks like it is enjoying the meal!
Oh, I love these! Made me laugh. Such clear and detailed pictures of those messy eaters. Wonderful captures!
haha, they sure do make a mess!!these are amazing, gorgeous close ups offer such beautiful feather detail and color!!
Can we say, pass the napkins. :)
Excellent clarity in these closeups of these berry hungry birds!
Looks like they are enjoying those berries Brian! Excellent shots!

What sort of Finches are they? From Findlay
Brian, your pictures are always good for a laugh ... something we all need to do now and then. I think Mama Finch forgot to teach table manners. My finch are busy eating the sunflower seeds and the mess they make is not on thier little faces, but on my, what was once, clean deck. Oh well, we can't be picky ... they are lovely little birds and I am greatful thay they come to see us. Smiles ...

Great close ups!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Great photos, - the bird really like the food!
What a mess.They have obviously not been taught well.
...I see you've been following my husband again!!! Captured his likeness well. [kidding]
What marvelous photos Brian. Quite a berry muncher indeed!!!
"Now which one of you guys has been at the berries?"
"Not me!"
"Nor me!"
"or me!":)
Now that's a messy eater. You even captured the food stains on the feathers. enJOYed!
What nice pictures of the birds who seems to have great apetite.
Great job!
A great series of photos. Those birds do look like messy eaters!
Lovely shots of the messy blighters.
Great shots, Brian.
We had finches in our yard a few months ago when the mulberries were ripe and I can attest to them being messy eaters. :)
The birds are definitely in "piggy" mode right now and I love these shots!
Wow, that is one messy eater (similar to my toddler, haha)! Love these great close ups; it's interesting to see how they eat those berries!
looks like berry monster....great photos Brian...you are so talented...
No table manners at all - and as Tammy said "just like my kids!" (But they are getting better!)
Thanks for linking to WBW.

Great pictures, they are messy eaters, but seem to be really enjoying themselves.
Fantastic captures of these messy eaters!
Makes you want to go out and wipe their little beaks off doesn't it? Nice captures.
Wonderful images Brian... where are their manners lol.
Great images, Brian! They must taste good!
Oh...that is so cute, to see the splash of red from the berries on his little chest. Hahahahha...so cute. Come see my Yellowstone pictures, you may like them..my daughter took the pictures.
We need to come up with a napkin for birds :-) Great shots, Brian!
That's LoL funny! Messy, to say the least! WoW! =)
They may be messy, but they surely are pretty. Love the red berries and the red breasts. Such amazing colors. genie
Great action shots of the female House Finches. They can be hogs.:)
Hilarious. (Do I put this on a lot of your posts? lol)
Use your napkins! Even feathers stained with berry juice? Life is good in the fall. Can't wait to see what you have to share with us from the "wild kingdom", Brian.
Fun photos of those little piggies.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend, Brian.
Brian, these shots are superb!! They really are messy eaters!!
Brian! Where have you been? Your blogging buddies are wondering...
where have you been hiding out? hope all is well!
Brian, you haven't posted in a while... I do hope everything is ok & you're just taking a blogging break! Be careful & God bless =)
Great captures! I've not seen this side of them before.
What messy eaters :) These are FANTASTIC!!
Where have I been? I've missed your blog for the last week and your fabulous bird pics. This little guy could use a napkin, I think.
