Nose-to-nose A Stephen Rolfe Powell glass artwork reminds me of two long-nosed butterfly fish meeting on a tropical reef. It is being exhibited at the Art Center of the Bluegrass.
Adult purple finch♂︎ With a more pointed beak and stockier barrel chested body, this is likely a rarer adult male purple finch that I have photographed rather than a brightly-colored variation of the more common house finch (adult male). That is my best guess. Of course, probabilities favor that this is a much more common house finch. Birders, what say ye?

American goldfinch
Northern cardinal ♂︎ Kentucky is not the only state that thinks of this red bird as its iconic state bird. The northern cardinal is the most popular state bird of all birds with six other states calling it their state bird.
