Thank you WV. I was very close to these birds, added an extension between the scope and eyepiece. Only focuses for out to about 25' or so.

A wonderful image, Dave, and a surprising combo for being digiscoped.

Interesting! I thought the same as Delia, that it looked like snow on his head. Never seen or heard of a leucistic house finch before. I guess leucism happens in all species.
