I'm so tired...

Dozed off while eating, the warm rocks must have been very comfortable. A fledgling purple finch, could only fly a few feet at a time, we eventually got him over to some low brush where he could rest more safely. Took about 3 shots from a couple feet away before the little guy woke up, then ignored us and went back to sleep.

    Nice shot! I have seen this too. Maybe, you should have given him a little recliner. LOL

    Awww such a fluffy fat chick! Think he's stuffed himself too full, then dozed off. Too heavy to fly! Great shot!
