House Finch

Along with the hordes of American Goldfinches which have discovered us, we also are seeing a few regular House Finches (Carpodacus mexicanus) stop by and visit.  They seem to be quick a bit more wary of their surroundings than their golden cousins.  Still, its easy to notice them when they’re around since their distinctive reddish/orange heads really stand out among the goldies.
