steely eyed

I was out on the back deck with my camera looking for birds when the yard men arrived with not one, not two, but three noisy machines (a mower, a trimmer, and a blower). It was deafening and I was getting up to go in when I saw this male house finch land in the tree. I couldn't believe he chose to stay there, his head tilting every which way trying to figure out the noise. I took a quick snap and came inside!
