Flying Finches

Since the Blue Jays were not around the finches were finally able to eat at the feeder. The male House Finch is the rosy red ones and the females are the brownish striped. A few Goldfinches are in the pictures also, with a Tufted Titmouse flying in. They have a wonderful twittering song and especially love the thistle and sunflower seeds. Originally from Mexico, the House Finch resembles the Purple Finch. The coloring of the Purple Finch is more of a raspberry red and the female is also the brownish striped.
