More New Friends, "Ruby" & "Red"

Today while painting in my studio with my friend, Tracy, we looked out the window and saw a small, puffed up, shivering, female Redpoll sitting on a thorn bush near my window.  She seemed so frail and acted like she was hurt.  It looks like she might be a window casualty too the way she has been hobbling along the edge of the feeder.  Tracy named her, "Ruby".




Later on, I noticed another Redpoll on the ground, all puffed up too and wobbling around like his wings were hurt. He is a male and I named him "Red". The male Redpolls are always more colorful than the females with a beautiful red chest, hmmm...it seems like the females should have the colorful chests, don't you think?
