House Finches


My feeders have been attracting large numbers of House Finches. Here are pics of the maie of the species. 










This weekend I will be taking a 2 day coastal birding trip to Cape Anne led by Bryan Pfeiffer of Vermont Bird Tours, and I hope to come back with lots of pix of ocean birds!

Cheers and Happy Birding!
