Bird Watch, Friday, January 17, 2025. The Finches Are Starting To Trust Me

by Jon Katz

I’m learning a lot about birds and movement, which is another nice thing coming into my life. I can get the finches to respond by lifting my head or turning. At certain angles, they don’t see me at all. If I sit back a few feet to the right of my living room chair, they will pose for me, even look at me. I haven’t figured all this ought, and I don’t mind their zipping around. We are getting comfortable with each other. More importantly, they are getting comfortable with my Leica. I love watching them move together, then separately quickly. They are tougher than they first look.
