The View from Squirrel Ridge: Finch Kiss?

July 27, 2022

Finch Kiss?

The male house finch is eye-catching with his red feathers. Females and young finches are light brown with nice stripes.

Wait! Are they kissing? No, he's feeding a seed to the other finch. I don't know whether it's his sweetie or his child, but I saw this happen a couple of times.

House finches are common birds here.
