That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
and never stops at all~ Emily Dickenson
This little purple finch filled my morning with song...he huffed and puffed and sang from his heart. ...rolling his head to one side while sharing his sweet sounds of hope with me.
He lingered for a while after he finished singing, eating a few seeds from a pin oak tree.It was nice to see him...my first of the season!!

I've always loved that quote and think of it often.
What a sweet little singer that Purple Finch was, especially with that cute little head tilt! A moment both magnificent and delightful.
Oh what a delight that must have been.These guys not only look good,but are great singers as well.
Blessings,Ruth
I have never heard that quote before. So lovely. Great pictures too. I would love to see a male purple finch with my own two eyes.
Emily is the greatest. Thank you Tina and Mrs Moore my 12th grade English teacher. :)
A very appropriate quote Tina & should have accompanied my last post & birding today - lots of great migrant songsters. Lol FAB
Hi Tina,
I love your text and I love the pictures of this small guy, calling out for hope and maybe love... Excellent.
Tina, more great shots! I think you have all the animals trained to pose for you. :)
Oh, those songsters really lighten your heart. Love the quote as well.
Tina,
Its always a treat to see the birds when they appear in spring...
Very nice quote!
He is so handsome and seems so joyful!! Lovely shots!! Excellent quote!
Hi Tina,
We are digging out from yet another weekend snowstorm.
Please send all your birds my way. We could use a little hope that spring is on its way!
Ahhhhh!
I've always loved that quote as well...a use of it today with the beautiful purple finch. I haven't seen one yet this year. Wonderful photos!
The Purple Finch looks like it was dipped in raspberry sauce.
nice looking bird.
I really am surprised to see a Purple Finch. I thought they had all died out. LOL
I only get the House Finch here but keep hoping the next one will not have that brown spot on top of its head and then I could begin to get exciting again. LOL
I really liked your photos and the quote.
Tina: Those birds are so pretty, I thought they were just sparrows untill I started taking photos.
Beautiful images Tina. The catchlight in the eyes makes this special.
Bird songs in the morning are always full of hope to me, but I know people who hate to hear the 'racket' that wakes them up! they do not know what they are missing. That is one of favorite quotes..
I get excited everytime I see the Purple Finch since this is the first year I have EVER seen one.

Aren't they beautiful little singers. I am overloaded with them right now and enjoy every minute of it. Cute story and great photos!
Beautiful Purple Finch, Tina...
Hope you had a great week/weekend.
We are glad to be home.. It was a wonderful trip --just getting to see my son and family. BUT--the weather was horrible. Oh Well!!!!
I'm going to check through some of your older blog posts.
Hugs,
Betsy
