    Nice shot, really cool DOF.

    Yeah, with a 500mm at F/6.3, DOF is going to be measured in inches at this range (about 20-30 feet…)

    The first 2 birds are purple finches. The 3rd bird is not a goldfinch.

    @Richora: Purple Finches are not common at this location; and House Finches are! Purple Finches are typically un-streaked, these two (slightly out of focus, see my earlier comment re: Depth of Field) appear to me to be streaked, like House Finches.

    As far as the "American Goldfinch" – I was unsure, that is why I phrased the caption that way – do you have any suggestions as to what the bird actually is? Goldfinches were certainly in the area – see the prior shot in the photostream! Another possibility is a House Sparrow female – an unusually pale-yellowish one.

    lol…It doesn’t take a genius to know where house sparrows are common. THEY LIVE EVERYWHERE.

    Show me a photo of a house sparrow with with a purple head. Unlike you, I show proof. identify.whatbird.com/obj/199/overview/Purple_Finch.aspx

    The first two birds are purple finches.
    The last bird is probably a female house sparrow.
    And once again, american goldfinches are yellow. Females are too, just a dull yellow. s3.amazonaws.com/estock/fspid11/16/34/35/7/american-goldf…

    You might wanna study up on your birds.

    @Richora: I suggest you re-READ my response: You seem to think I’m calling your "Purple Finch(es)" as House Sparrows – I’m not, I’m Calling them House Finches! I’m doing this based on both habitat (Purple Finches tend to be more rural than this location – just north of Golden Gate Fields, the regional horse racing facility…) and my personal observations in the 20+ years I’ve lived in Albany, CA ( a grand total of 0 Purple Finches seen – and yes, a Purple Finch is on my life list, so I know the difference…) If you think the heads on the center two birds are purple, I suggest you get your monitor and/or eyes checked.

    House sparrows have nested in the house next door to me for most of those 20+ years – but that doesn’t mean that I can ID every female I see!

    I’ve been birding for 35+ years: I can ID the House Finch (and most other common Bay Area birds…) by voice alone – and know when what I hear isn’t a HF! (To some extent, I can place myself, geographically within the Bay Area, just by hearing the local White-Crowned Sparrow dialect!)

    The first 2 birds are either house finches or purple finches. If you were actually a birder, anyone with eyes would know the third bird is a female house sparrow since it looks nothing like a goldfinch. But I see your realized your mistake and changed it, but its not "I think!"
