    Yeah that black cap is interesting. Not sure what’s going on with that.

      Any chance you can share these pics with a local wildlife center? This bird has a lot going on, we’re all curious haha

        Yeah, maybe. As for the cap, she visited again when the sun was at a different angle and her cap feathers aren’t black. They’re reddish brown. Between the lighting and the grime from her wound it just looked black.

          Ya, the images showing her eye definitely don’t show the cap being as prominent. But that eye, specialists might be curious. I am most certainly not a specialist 🙂 essentially, it was folks like you that caught on to that with finches in thr first place! I’ll stop bugging you about it haha

      It’s a shadow. You can see it on the beak a little bit. It’s more noticeable due to the extremely saturated colors.

        Someone else remarked about the color saturation. I did a little bit of adjusting in Google Photos, including moving the HDR slider to 50%. Is that a bad thing? I like how it helps bring out the details.
