Wild Bird Wednesday

Taken in the Chilean garden at the San Francisco Botanical Gardens.
I found this little one posing for photos the other day in the gardens.
I, however am unable to identify him so any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Oh how lovely, and I am not at all sure what this species is, but possibly a Finch of some kind~

We have those here too, on the Central Coast. I think it's a female Lesser Goldfinch. Ours never sit still long enough to get a photo but I just love how pretty they are.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
