The photographer writes:

I am humbled to be able to present to you exclusive and incontrovertible photographic proof that Central Park House Finches have become involved in the manufacture of Sangria this Holiday Season. These entrepreneurial finches recognized the profit potential in a niche business to which they are, surprising as it may seem to this observer, supremely adept. In this image we find a no nonsense business-like female finch inspecting the orange slice production line. The slices would later be mixed with other fruits and wine to produce the festive holiday beverage consumed all over the world. Happy New Year and bottoms up!
