Photos | The Observer on Slate: A Dainty Encounter at SF Zoo, 2024

Captured during a splendid morning at SF Zoo, March 2024, this finch — a compelling blend of finch, jay, and blackbird — stands confidently on a piece of slate. It’s a vivid display of nature's elegance, perfectly framed by grass and an inviting walkway, leading the eye deeper into the picture's story.
