I have seen some of the other House Finch shots in this forum, but this bird seems especially colorful. Could it be a Purple Finch, instead of a House Finch ?
Anyway, I'm glad that he stopped in my yard.
........thanks for looking

canonloader Cream of the Crop More info | Jun 01, 2008 11:17 | #7 Nice shot. I'm pretty sure this is a House Finch in breeding colors. The Purple finch has some brown looking patches on his cheeks that are easy to see and he has red covering more of the body. Mitch- ____...^.^...____
