When we went to Colombia last February, one of my target birds was the Saffron Finch. I really wanted a photo of this striking bird, but never got a good one.
I had to go to Hawaii to get a decent photo. Like so many birds in Hawaii, this is an introduced species.
This photo was taken on a soccer field in Hilo, Hawaii.
